The SMS Grosser Kurfurst sank in 1878 with 284 hands one of the first armoured ships with turrets built in Germany.
Would this accident, which could easily be averted, be a major event with the fledgling German Navy?
Or would it just be another ship in the sea and no memorial in the local cemetary in Folkestone?
