| Description |
English: For many years, the Todd Shipyards Corporation has had ship repair and maintenance facilities at Harbor Island in Seattle. In about 1927, the German cruiser "Emden," then a naval training vessel, visited the Todd yards for inspection and maintenance. After the floating ship entered the dry dock, the water was pumped out. This allowed the shipyard workers to reach all parts of the ship's hull. Characterized in the July 29, 1927 Seattle Times as a "friendly and peaceful craft," with the outbreak of World War II, the ship became active in German military action.
In this photo, taken around 1927, Todd Shipyard workers are inspecting and repairing the anchor chain of the German light cruiser "Emden."
