Rare original photograph, which shows battleship SMS Nassau sailing on the Kaiser - Wilhelm - Kanal (Kiel Canal) in late July 1918. Most likely during operation "Schlusstein", which had the seizure of St. Petersburg as an operational goal. After having reached the Baltic Sea with two other Battleships (Oldenburg and Thueringen) the operation was cancelled, and the units had to sail back to Wilhelmshaven.
