caption_attribution_description: English: These are actual photographs of the sinking of 'three, victims of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich. They were obtained from one of the prisoners on the German warship, now held at Newport News. They are: The French Ship Jacobsen, sunk off Chili, Jan. 28 (shown in top photo). The British ship Mary Ada Scott, Feb. 18 (shown in middle picture). The American ship William P Frye, sunk off Chili Feb 27 (in lower photo). The Prinz Eitel sank in all eleven ships, and from them she obtained coal enough to continue on her career till her machinery gave way and she had to put into Newport News. The value of the cargoes and ships was very high. In addition some $2,000,000 in gold was taken from her victims.
