The image is a black and white photograph of a large battleship in the ocean. The ship appears to be a battleship, possibly a destroyer or a destroyer, as indicated by the text at the bottom of the image which reads "Panzerkreuzer - Blücher während des Seegefechtes auf der Dogebank am 24. Januar 1915 kurz vor seinem Untergang" which translates to "The Battle of the Bulge" in English.

The ship is sailing on the water, with the waves crashing around it. There are several large guns and other military equipment visible on the deck, including a large gun turret on the right side of the ship. On the left side, there is a tall mast with a cross on top, and several smaller guns on the sides. The sky is overcast, and the water is choppy and turbulent. The photograph appears to have been taken during World War II, as there are no other ships or ships visible in the background.
