The
light cruiser SMS Dresden went down in the deep 21.June
1919 when Ludwig Von Reuter issued the code "Paragraph
11", the order for the whole German fleet to be scuttled.
Within a few hours almost the whole fleet disappeared in
the deep. In the years to come and all the way up until
the outbreak of second world war, most of the ships were
either raised or salvaged on site. The wreck of Dresden
was left alone and rest today with a listing towards port
on a depth of 16 to 35 meter northeast of Cava in Scapa
Flow.
