SMS Brummer

 

Built at Stettin, and launched in 1915.  Light cruiser/mine layer displacing 4308 tons.  She has an overall length of 462 feet (140 metres).  As with the other light cruisers, she was built for speed and with her two turbines and twin propellers she could reach speeds of 28 knots.  

 

She lies in 32-36 metres of water on her starboard side.  The least depth over her port side is about 20 metres.  Some salvaging has taken place on her, particularly around the engine room, but she is nevertheless in good condition and like the Coln and Dresden is an exciting dive.
