On this History page of the SEDOV there is a slide show of contemporary photos of the MAGDALENE VINNEN with accompaniment of a German sea song with accordion - maybe what they sounded like? - www.sts-sedov.info/eng/history/

beachcomber australia ooooh just got to this now. Do you reckon it could be a recording from that time? Perhaps it is worth us contacting them to find out where that sound recording came from! What a record if it is! Love it, thanks so much for pointing us to it.

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons No I don't think it is an old recording, but certainly an old song which gives an idea of what a German male chorus with accordion accompaniment sounded like.

It's probably a cruiser; it looks a bit small for a dreadnought anyway, and the all big gun nature of the armament would rule out a pre-dreadnought battleship.
beachcomber australia said:
Well, sadly it's not HMS King Edward VII, whose sailors we encountered before here. But similar - spot the differences ...
derangedlemur said:
Actually, maybe it is a pre-dreadnought. It looks quite like HMS Goliath. Or HMS Formidable. Edit: Or indeed quite a large number of late pre-dreadnought classes. e.g. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/HMS_Montagu_%...
