SMS Brummer

           
 

The 4,308 tons Bremse class light cruiser Brummer was built at Stettin by A.G. Vulcan and launched on 11 December 1915.  A fast, sleek warship, her role was to penetrate enemy territory, lay her deadly cargo of 360 mines and outrun any vessel that might try to close on her with her high speeds of up to 28 knots.

The history, sinking and dive details of the SMS Brummer are described in much greater detail in the book Dive Scapa Flow.
