Those 4-stack torpedo Boat/destroyers (guess they could be pre-dreadnaughts too) have strange lines but they are actually graceful in their own right. Thanks for posting. Merry Christmas!
@@WolfgangWeihs Thanks! I thought they may be cruisers, but their lines were so similar to the Sampson and Tucker class destroyers that I could not figure it out. I will have to read up on Rapidkreuzer as they seem to fit in below a protected or light cruiser. Nice looking vessels.
Mostly light cruisers SPAUN-type and Improved SPAUN. A few shots of TELGETHOF-class battlewagons, a NICE image of GOEBEN seemingly under Turkish colors, some decent DD photos and miscellaneous interest pictures of launches, etc. I think there is an armored cruiser in there but it's hard to tell from all the yacht sails blocking the view. You post them, I'll sure as heck look at them. 😁
A very nice comment, I really appreciate it. It's great when additional knowledge enhances such a rare historical photograph. I think one can clearly see the armored cruisers Novara and Saida, some torpedo boats, and in the background, battleships of the Tegetthoff class.

These are Rapidkreuzer, as SMS Novara and Saida. Both can be seen in the video...
