the German armored cruiser Scharnhorst at speed. she's moving right along as evidenced by the bow wave and the copious clouds of coal smoke. Scharnhorst and sister ship Gneisenau sank most of a British squadron in the Battle of Coronel off the coast of Chile November 1, 1914. on December 8, 1914 the British got their revenge by sinking Scharnhorst and Gneisenau at the Battle of the Falklands.
