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.
