Wrecked deck gear and a lifeboat on a burned-out ship

A lifeboat hangs tilted in its bent davits, its keel above the camera; below it the deck is a jumble of twisted railings, a winch, broken ladders and the round mouths of ventilator cowls, all scorched and rusted, with a quay building behind. In the order of the source this follows the German ship Robert Ley, burned out in the harbour during air raids, and details of the damage aboard. The Robert Ley had been built as a cruise ship for the Nazi leisure organisation Strength through Joy.
