I believe the ship is SMS Frankfurt as completed with both main mast search lights sighted at the same level. Wiesbaden was sunk at Jutland 1 June 1916 and had a single search light on the main mast and two level search lights on the fore mast. Both these sister ships differed from SMS Graudenz and Rensburg in the disposition and calibre of the main armament. The former had their 15cm forward waist guns carried on the main deck rather than on the same level as the forward gun. The main armament of the Graudenz class were 10.5cm compared with the 15cm of the Wiesbaden's. The recess and gun mounting can be clearly seen between the fore mast and first funnel. Dave Mallinson Its definitely a German Light cruiser. Something like the SMS Regensburg/Graudenz/Frankfurt, or of similar classification. - Carl Proctor Thanks to both of you for your help.
