  1. From a public forum on topic: "I have a book on the Averoff that I bought at the Naval Museum in Piraeus. In it there's the account of her original captain running her aground off Spithead. This led to loss of confidence by the crew. The near mutiny came while the ship was being repaired and was due to the Captain's inability to organize all the logistical requirements of repair and the running of the ship while she was in port. He was replaced for the return voyage. The only connection with cheese during this time was the crew's belief that the cheese they were provisioned with in England was bad. This was because Greeks weren't used to yellow cheese and thought that it looked spoiled. No mutiny though, they just refused to eat it." From: Το θωρηκτό Αβέρωφ, FINATEC, A.E.

  2. And this posted below: "I found the exact passage included on the Wikipedia page. It's from a book 'Lucky Uncle George' by James Shneer. It looks very much like a book born of passion for the subject, rather than academia. Possibly a self-published book. Doesn't necessarily mean it's not reliable - but I'd be inclined to look for a second source. This link is to the book on Google Books https://books.google.com.au/books?id=27TJAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3&dq=georgios+averof+blue+cheese&source=bl&ots=hyV0FINdxX&sig=cCUoie-obrmj79c0xLBA3lCh_pY&hl=en&sa=X&ei=_cnyU8y2EsmzuASwr4HABg#v=onepage&q=georgios%20averof%20blue%20cheese&f=false
