This cross-section image offers a detailed glimpse into the inner workings of the German pre-dreadnought battleship, SMS Zahringen, launched in 1901. Part of the Wittelsbach-class, this historic vessel was a formidable naval force during the early 1900s. The SMS Zahringen, named after the Duchy of Zahringen in southern Germany, measured 123 meters in length and displaced over 12,000 tons. Armed with a main battery of ten 21 cm (8.26-inch) guns, this battleship was a formidable presence on the high seas. As depicted in this intricately detailed print, the SMS Zahringen's hull is divided into several compartments, each with its unique function. The engine room, located towards the rear of the ship, housed the steam engines that powered the vessel's propellers. The boiler rooms, situated towards the front, were responsible for generating the steam required to power the engines. The print also reveals the ship's armored belt, which protected the vital machinery and ammunition magazines from enemy fire. The deck guns, turrets, and mast structures are also visible, showcasing the ship's impressive firepower and navigational capabilities. The SMS Zahringen was a testament to the advanced engineering and naval prowess of the German Empire during the early 1900s. This cross-section image offers a unique perspective into the inner workings of this historic battleship, providing a fascinating glimpse into the technological marvels of the past.
