The Steamer N.J. Fjord

When the small steamer N.J. Fjord from neutral Denmark was stopped by the German vanguard, the engine had to be put on hold with the result that it let off steam.

The escape formed a big with cloud, which was seen from the nearest British ships.

They were sent off to investigate the matter, and so the battle started.

HMS Black Prince

During the night action the armoured cruiser HMS Black Prince got separated from the main force and ended up in the vicinity of several big German Battleships.

At a distance of only 1000meters the Germans opened fire, and in only two minutes the British cruiser was turned into a mass of fire from fore to aft.

Shortly after, the ship exploded in a big ball of fire. There were no survivors, the whole crew of 857 being killed.
