This print captures a haunting scene of the German Training-Ship "Gneisenau" wrecked off the coast of Malaga on 16 December. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection and provides a glimpse into a tragic maritime event. The ship, once majestic and powerful, now lies battered and broken against the rocky shoreline. The details are strikingly clear despite the absence of color, allowing us to observe every intricate feature of this naval disaster. The wreckage serves as a stark reminder of the destructive power that can be unleashed upon even the mightiest vessels at sea. The significance of this event is further emphasized by its illustration in The Illustrated London News on 22 December 1900.
