TWENTY YEARS AFTER
After lying on tho sea bed at Scapa Flow for almost 20 years, the giant German cruiser. Grosser Knriurst, has been raised by Metul industries, Ltd., who have been working on the task for many mouths. The Grosser Kurfurst, which had a displacement of 25,000 tons, turned turtle when she was scuttled and sunk by her German crow following the Armistice.
The fact that sho lay upside down made tho task of raising her doublj difficult.
The vessel is being towed to Hosyth, where she will be broken up for scrap.
