Hessen (German target ship, 1903)
Photographed from on board the battleship Scharnhorst
during January 1940, while she was acting as an icebreaker in
the western Baltic Sea. The heavy ice there forced cancellation
of planned target practice by the Scharnhorst.
Copied from the contemporary German photo album "Meine Kriegserinnerungen
auf Schlachtschiff Scharnhorst", page 9.
