The Wreck of Battleship Tirpitz - Capsized and Salvaged in Cold Norway

Follow
Skynea History

Ah, Tirpitz. Perhaps the most useless of all battleships in her intended role. While probably the most famous example of a 'fleet' (or ship) in being, she did very little other than float in Norway. And generally make a menace of herself, in the British inability to put her down.

That said, when she was finally sunk, her wreck became an interesting topic. Capsized in shallow water, until salvage work began soon after the war. The pictures of that salvage, much like Mutsu, are quite fascinating to look over.

Good set of pictures:
