The wreck of the Graf Spee from the air

Looking down at a steep angle, the hull of the ship lies across the lower right of the picture in the grey, silted water; its superstructure is a jumble of burnt steel, and banks of white smoke spread from it across the water to the left. The wreck remained in the estuary for decades; parts of it, among them the ship's eagle, were raised only in the twenty-first century.
