Crowds on the shore watch the Graf Spee in the harbour

Along the promenade in the foreground, hundreds of spectators stand shoulder to shoulder beside a lamp post; across the calm water a large warship with a tower bridge lies between two tall-masted sailing ships, merchant vessels at the right. The German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee had put into Montevideo on 13 December 1939 after her fight with the British cruisers Exeter, Ajax and Achilles; for four days the city watched her.
