Summary[edit]

Description

Photos (need re-scanning) of the wrecked MV Magdeburg of the GDR in the Thames. Purchased from Germany, with the stamp of a photographic studio (since disappeared) in Gravesend, Kent. These may have been commissioned by the GDR authorities and I think they ended up in the naval academy in Warnemuende. On the deck may be seen Leyland Tiger Worldmasters bound for Havana. Photographer was E.John Wells Ltd of 15 Parrock Street, Gravesend. Both premises and firm have vanished. More information about the event and its repercussions is found under my original 1965 photo, <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/sludgeulper/3400006718/">with my Instamatic 50 camera</a>
