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.

The S. M. S. Frithjof was a part of the “Siegfried” Class of coastal defense ships. She was commissioned in 1893 at the beginning of the Kaiserliche Marine’s “battleship era.” She was modernized early in the 20th Century, but in reality she did not have sufficient artillery to be a real threat. When WW I began, she was used for coastal defense. By 1916 she was deemed insufficient for that and was converted to a floating barracks. After the war, she was scrapped. The postcard shows her in profile entering a port or channel. It was never mailed.
