Summary

Description Image from a direct photograph: I.L. News.
Title: "The Sinking of the Blücher"
Caption: "In announcing the British naval victory in the North Sea, the Admiralty said: 'Shortly after one o'clock, Blücher, which had previously fallen out of the line, capsized and sank. . . . One hundred and twenty-three survivors have been rescued from Blücher's crew of 885.' The Blücher is believed to have taken part in the raid on Scarborough. She was an armoured-cruiser of 15,550 tons, and 499 feet in length, carrying twelve 8'2-inch guns, with other armaments. She was launched in 1908 at Kiel, and completed two years later. A steward of one of the British battle-cruisers engaged says that the Blücher, which was last in the German line, was crippled by the Lion and that when the British flagship, after being hit, yielded her place to the Princess Royal, the latter fired the shot that sank the Blücher."
