This huge historic ship, 823 feet long and with a greatest speed of 30 knots, is a warship named after Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. She was the first of two Bismarck-class warships built for the Kriegsmarine of Nazi Germany. She is considered to be one of the largest warships built by Germany, completed by the Hitler Navy. In 1941 she suffered a major blow in battle with the British Navy. The British warships sank to the bottom of the sea after causing enough damage to the Bismarck. How she sank has never been determined. In 1989, American oceanographer Robert Ballard located the Bismarck wreck.
