The image is a black and white photograph of a large battleship on the water. The ship appears to be a battleship, as there are several large guns and other equipment visible on the deck. The sky is overcast and there is a large plume of black smoke rising from the ship's smokestacks. The text on the image reads "Englischer Schlachtkreuzer - Queen Mary, welcher in der Schlacht vor dem Skagerak innerhalb werner Minuten (um 5 Uhr 26 Min. nachmittag des 31. Mai 1916) durch die deutschen Panzerkreuzer - Seydlitz und der derflingen" which translates to "Queen Mary, the ship of the German Navy during World War II". The photograph appears to have been taken during the day, as the water is calm and the sky is not visible in the image.
