This remarkable picture of the Admiral Graf Spee was taken by Captain Daniel, a special correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, as she lay in harbour at Montevideo after the battle with the British cruisers. Note the signs of damage near the waterline. Later the same day she sailed out and was scuttled. The photograph gains in interest because it bears the signatures the correspondent collected of 23 masters and officers of British merchantmen who were prisoners aboard the pocket battleship during the engagement. From top to bottom, beginning on left, the signatories presumably arc: F. M. Newphey and E. J. M. Angell (Tairoa), J. Mathendon (Streonshalh), F. Edwards (Huntsman), B. B. M. Quntor (Newton Beech), G. W. Strong (Ashlea), W. Comber (Doric Star), B. C. M. Corry (Huntsman), T. H. Jefferies (Streonshalh), W. Ray and J. C. Hutton (Doric Star), J. N. Edwards (trevanion), O. S. Walker (Tairoa), J. Robison (Newton Beech), J. J. Robinson (Streonshalh), J. L. Coutts (Newton Beach), C. Pottinger (Ashlea), A. H. Thompson (Huntsman), W. Stubbs (Doric Star), W. Venables (Trevanion), N. Doyl (Trevanion), J. H. Beazley (Huntsman), P. G. G. Dove (Africa Shell).
