Title: Scharnhorst
Description: (German Battleship, 1939) Tied to a mooring bouy in Wilhelmshaven Harbor, circa 1939, as men in a boat push off from her bow. Note anchors, ship's badges on her bow and on the boat, and paired cables running down from her starboard bow chock. In mid-1939, Scharnhorst's bow was greatly modified from the configuration seen here. Copied from the contemporary German photo album Meine Kriegserinnerungen auf Schlachtschiff Scharnhorst, page 15.
