battle of July in the Baltic, the frst
naval battle of any consequence there
since the war began. The Albatross,
the German mine layer. is a wreck
on the shore. having been shot to
pieces by Russian ships. She was
beached after she was disabled. and
the only reason why she did not sink
was because the captain was able to
reach shallow water. One photo

vessel at close range. These with
some shots beneath the water line
