The scuttling of the Graf Spee - in four stages.

The scuttling of the Graf Spee - in four stages. The four stages in the scuttling of the German pocket battleship Graf Spee off Monte Video, told in original pictures just received in London. Top left, the fire on board gains a firm hold; top right, the burning ship begins to settle down; bottom left, as the water almost reaches deck level the fires on board blaze forth even more furiously; bottom right, with black smoke belching from her the Graf Spee begins to break up as she settles down. Note the stern has been shattered almost completely by the violent explosions on board.
