For Research Anyone have the ship's pre-WWI history for SMS Yorck?

[Claudius]

Hello;

Would anyone, with extensive combat ship histories, have a log for the SMS Yorck?

Specifically, I would like to know;

where it was / what it was doing,

in July-August 1907?

I have an Oberbootsmaat serving onboard who was presented with a foreign award for August 5, 1907.

Thank you for any direction.

Hello Larry;

No, I haven't seen these sites. Thank you

These are some nice research websites. Unfortunately there is nothing noted about 1907. It appears that any other history regarding this vessel is overshadowed by its naval collision in March 1913 with the Destroyer S178 and its WWI activity.

The music on the website....a nice touch.
