This was a fierce fighting ship. Disabled by a 12' from the Invincible who struck its engine room, she drifted between the two battle lines, targeted by multiple British battleships, she fought to the end with a sole gun in action. She foundered during the night. The author Gorch Fock found his fate that day. Respect to this old lady and her sons. RIP.

@@gibsondrummer I think you are probably correct - though the wreck of the Lusitania was apparently depth charged between the wars - ostensibly during practice drills. The notion that it happened as part of a cover up seems a bit far fetched to me (but I know nothing about diving technology & whether anyone could potentially investigate the wreck in those days).

I've red a lot about WWI wrecks having the brass engine components being illegally salvaged. From what I could see of hull plates removed. It looks like the SMS Wiesbaden was the victim of one of these salvage operations

@EddyDeboeck 5 жыл бұрын

A lot of those wrecks are damaged and robbed in the chase after brass and copper. It's far from the shore so find out who's doing this is mostly a guess. We know some salvages hunters but proof that they did it is almost impossible. I think the bottom and hull plates from SMS Wiesbaden are gone by electrolyse of the revets, but that's also a guess... Thx for your feedback..

Aside from black, it’s the hardest color to read words from a video screen and assimilate meaning before the words disappear from the screen. White is better. Otherwise this is a magnificent video. Quite an accomplishment to explore one of the sunken Jutland combatants from all those years ago. Thank you for sharing the experience.

The cordite was normally stocked in linnen bags and as you see in the movie allready in the shells. The storage was the problem on all ships. They had a room with the cordite with a safety system to avoid explosions when they were hit. HMS Invinceble exploded when they were hit because their safty door wasn't closed.

I think so, we had SMS Pommern on our "to do" list and have been in the naberhood, but I didn't dive on it. SMS Pommern is broken in two pieces after two topedoes hit her. Some say Pommern was torpedoed by the British destroyer HMS Onslaught, others think it was HMS Obedient ( launched in 1916, an Admiralty M-class destroyer that served in World War I, and was sold in 1921). I don't remember the reason we dind't do the SMS Pommern.

Those metals were used to make U boats for World War II. Beautiful circle!
