Historical description

SMS Emden was a German Dresden-class light cruiser, launched in 1908. During World War I, she became famous for her daring operations in the Indian Ocean, successfully conducting raids against Allied shipping. For a time, Emden spread panic along Allied trade routes and earned great fame as the “terror of the colonial routes.” She was eventually sunk off the Cocos Islands in November 1914, becoming one of the most recognizable ships of World War I.
