A distant view of the Prinses Juliana (1909) wrecked off Felixstowe.
A distant portside view of the cross-Channel steamer Prinses Juliana (1909) wrecked ashore off Felixstowe. Her superstructure, funnels and masts can be seen above water. The photographer was on board the light cruiser HMS Aurora (1913). The wash from the cruiser is in the foreground of the image.
On 1 February 1916 she struck a mine from UC-5 while on a voyage with passengers from Vlissingen (Flushing) to Tilbury and was grounded. On the night of 29 March she broke in two during a gale. Ultimately the ship became a total wreck.
This is a poor quality, grainy image. The negative has some blemishes on the right hand side.
