in #aceh7 years ago


The beautiful wreck of Sophie Rickmers. German ship intentionally sank in the Pria Laot
Bay of Pulau Weh island, Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Germany were about to enter The Netherlands and ordered the Captain to raise anchor and leave the Dutch owned Indonesian territory. But the message was intercepted and as the Dutch boarded the ship in order to confiscate her - while German engineers were secretly flooding her..
