A starboard bow view, taken from wide off the bow, of the German armoured ship ('pocket' battleship) Admiral Scheer (1933) alongside the quay at Palermo. She has her national colours painted on 'A' and 'C' turrets as she was involved in patrols during the Spanish Civil War between July 1936 and October 1937. The photographer is on shore looking across the quay showing a Tirrenia passenger/cargo coastal liner in the background.
