General note:

This aerial view of SMS Königsberg, a German cruiser that was blockaded by a British naval force in the Rufigi River delta, German East Africa, in early 1915, must have been taken from a Royal Naval Air Service aircraft, spotting for the naval force. The cruiser appears to be intact, dating the photograph to before July 11, 1915, when the cruiser was damaged by shellfire and scuttled.
