Description

The last ship of the first class of German "Dreadnought” battleships was Ersatz Baden/Posen. The keel for Posen was laid on June 11, 1907, at the Germania Dockyard in Kiel and launching followed on 12 December 1908. The President of the Prussian province of Posen, von Waldow, gave the christening speech and the christening was performed by Fürstin (Princess) Johanna von Radolin. Posen was named after the Prussian Province from 1772 to 1919, and today is known as Poznan province in Poland. On 28 April 1910 Posen was transferred from her construction yard to Kiel Imperial Dockyard and on 31 May was commissioned for the first time. The first pre-trials began on July 18, 1910.

“This is a neat book and highly recommended to ship modelers and marine history enthusiasts.” (AMPS Indianapolis)

“As we’ve come to know what to expect from this series I can’t really say much more, other than if you’re a maritime fan you really should have them all in your reference library. Very highly recommended.” (Britmodeller)
