This postcard is of the Battleship S. M. S. Kaiser Friedrich III. [Friedrich was Kaiser Wilhelm I’s son and Kaiser Wilhelm II’s father. He is known as the “99-Day Kaiser,” as his rule spanned a brief three-month period during 1888, when Germany had three Kaisers within ninety-nine days]. She was commissioned in 1898, but by WW I she had become an outmoded relic. The S. M. S. Friedrich III was the lead battleship of a five-ship class. It was assigned to Battleship Squadron Nr 5 along with other older ships. It was used in minor operations early in the war, then as a prison ship, and finally as a floating barracks. It was scrapped in 1920. The ship is depicted going through the Kaiser Canal. The postcard was never mailed.

This is a color postcard of the S. M. S. Odin. She was a Küstenpanzerschiff that was intended for coastal defense and patrol. She was the last type of ship built by the German Navy before they shifted to producing true battleships. The color postcard shows the S. M. S. Odin in a later configuration, as originally she only had one funnel, and here she has two.

This is a color postcard that was produced as a painting. It shows the small cruiser S. M. S. Danzig in company with a Torpedoboot. She was one of seven ships of the “Bremen” Class of small cruisers. She was commissioned in 1907 and saw action at the Battle of Heligoland. She also saw extensive fleet service in the Baltic. It is interesting to note that her final commander was Korvettenkapitän Prinz Adalbert von Preußen. Adalbert was the only one of Kaiser Wilhelm II’s sons to serve in the Kaiserliche Marine. He held that command from May 1917 through March 1918. After the war, the S. M. S. Danzig was delivered to England and scrapped. The postcard was never mailed.
