The Armoured Cruiser Fürst Bismarck (per www.kbismarck.com/otherbis.html) This cruiser was laid down on 1 April 1896 at the Kaiserliche-Werft in Kiel.

Between 1910 and 1914 she was refitted at Kiel Dockyard and used as a coastal defence ship. In March 1915, the ship was disarmed and converted to an engine training ship. In 1919 she was used as an naval office ship until she was stricken on 17th June and sold to Brand & Son, Audorf. She was scrapped in 1919-20 at Audorf-Rendsburg.

The photo should be titled "Fürst Bismarck" or "Fuerst Bismarck."

SMS Fürst Bismarck was Germany's first armored cruiser. You can see the more graceful lines that distinguished most German capital ships throughout the first half of the 20th century, in contrast to many ships of the UK and US which often had casements for the smaller guns which interfered with a smoother hull facade.

Fantastic picture.

Slightly strange Russian pre-dred Graf Apraksin aground in the Gulf of Finland, 1899. Her future was not much more rosy. Part of Rozhestvensky's "fleet that had to die" she was captured by the Japanese at Tsushima, and served that nation until being decommissioned and turned into a museum in 1924. Severely damaged by a storm in 1939 she was finally scrapped.

E-mail from friend~ Finally had time to look up this thing... It is a Vickers-Morris Armored Car, Circa 1931. It was not used by the British, only produced for Siam (Thailand). Patrick Keenan www.warwheels.net/
