"SMS Schleswig-Holstein was the last of the five Deutschland-class battleships built by the German Kaiserliche Marine. The ship, named for the province of Schleswig-Holstein, was laid down in the Germaniawerft dockyard in Kiel in August 1905 and commissioned into the fleet nearly three years later. The ships of her class were already outdated by the time they entered service, being inferior in size, armour, firepower and speed to the new generation of dreadnought battleships…."

Its one of my favourite pre-dreadnoughts, probably due to its role in the outbreak of the Second World War. |

My Mom, for years, insisted that a German battleship called the Schleswig-Holstein docked in Dun Laoghaire in the late 1930s. Well pre WWII We mocked her, as there was clearly no such ship in the Kriegsmarine. It was the 1970s and me and my brother were only in our twenties. She talked about handsome young blond sailors, but we knew she was raving….. There was no internet then. She had the name wrong. Obviously. God, what awful kids we were in those days…seriously |

Well that is absolutely brilliant. My wife is in the background reminding me just how much my brother and I treated our parents like eejets. All kids in the mid 60s did. But she thought the Schleswig Holstein was a monster, which, compared to most ships in that harbour….. Many thanks for that bit of nostalgia |
