EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned German photographer Carl Hochhaus, captures the building process of the SMS Oldenburg at the AG Vulcan shipyard in Stettin during the 1880s. The SMS Oldenburg, an armored warship, was one of the most advanced naval vessels of her time. The image showcases the meticulous construction process in progress at the dockyards, with the skeleton frame of the ship taking shape against the backdrop of the bustling shipyard. Workers can be seen laboring diligently, their figures dwarfed by the towering structure that was gradually emerging from the water. The intricate details of the ship's design are evident, from the carefully laid ironwork to the precise alignment of the machinery and engines. The Oldenburg was launched in December 1884, marking a significant milestone in the history of German naval power. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the industrial prowess of the time, providing a window into the complex and intricate world of shipbuilding during the late 19th century. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the rich maritime heritage of Stettin, now Szczecin in Poland, and its pivotal role in the development of the German Empire's military capabilities.
