Sunken ships beneath the cranes of Hamburg harbour

Seen from the water, a wrecked vessel lies settled at a quay with only its upperworks above the surface, funnels and large pipes tilted at odd angles and rust streaking its plates; behind it a long line of harbour cranes stands against the pale sky, and more wreckage lies along the quay. The source describes the wrecks of German vessels in the harbour of Hamburg, filmed from a British motor launch.
