The burning wreck of the Graf Spee settles in the shallows

The long hull, torn open amidships and blackened, rests on the bottom of the shallow estuary with its bow to the left; the tall tower bridge still stands, and a thick column of black smoke rolls away to the left over the flat water under a white sky. The ship burned for days in the River Plate, a few miles off Montevideo.
