About this site
SMS Dresden is a German light cruiser wreck, one of the German Fleet wrecks of Scapa Flow. She weighs 5500 tons, is largely intact, and lies on a slope with her bows in 27 metres and her stern in 38 metres, which makes 38 metres the maximum depth.
The anchor chain, guns, armoured bridge, range finder and name-ship shield are all worth visiting on a dive, along with the largely intact hull.
