The Wreck of the Emden

The three views on this page of the wreck of the Emden show graphically the destructive work of the modern battleship. The Sydney, which destroyed the Emden, was a more modern cruiser, had greater speed and more powerful guns, so she kept out of range of the Emden while she broke her to pieces with her shells. Viewing this wreckage, it is no surprise that the dispatches should have said, at the time, that “the decks of the Emden were veritable shambles.” Think of what it would mean to be on a ship at such a time.
