[edit] lost?

what is the sentence "(the Entente lost the battle on March 18, 1915)" supposed to mean? It appears to be talking about Winston Churchill, but doesn't make sense.

Needs a reference to Richard Halliburton swimming across it in 1926 in imitation of Lord Byron.

[edit] shipping

Does anyone have figures regarding the minimum depth of the strait, and maximum capacity a ship may have that can safely make passage?
