Germany ship battleship s.M.S worth military postcard (c. 1900) pd germany ship battleship s.M.S worth military postcard (c. 1900) pd click images to enlarge description very attractive and historic postcard showing a view of a german battleship. According to wikipedia: (more at site) sms wörth ("his majesty's ship wörth")[a] was one of four german pre-dreadnought battleships of the brandenburg class, built in the early 1890s. The class also included brandenburg, kurfürst friedrich wilhelm, and weissenburg. The ships were the first ocean-going battleships built for the kaiserliche marine (imperial navy). Wörth was laid down at the germaniawerft dockyard in kiel in may 1890. The ship was launched on 6 august 1892 and commissioned into the fleet on 31 october 1893. Wörth and her three sisters carried six heavy guns rather than four, as was standard for most other navies' battleships. She was named for the battle of wörth fought during the franco-prussian war of 1870–1871. Wörth served in the german fleet for the first decade of her career, participating in the normal peacetime routine of training cruises and exercises. She took part in the german naval expedition to china in 1900 to suppress the boxer rebellion; by the time the fleet arrived the siege of peking had already been lifted, and wörth saw little direct action in china. She was placed in reserve in 1906 as newer, more powerful vessels had supplanted the brandenburg class as front-line battleships. Obsolete by the start of world war i, wörth and brandenburg served in a limited capacity in the imperial german navy as coastal defense ships for the first two years of the war; they did not see action. By 1916, wörth was reduced to a barracks ship, a role in which she served until the end of hostilities. Despite plans to convert her into a freighter after the war, wörth was scrapped in danzig in 1919. Unsent, undivided back with light corner bumping & toning. Very fine condition.
