Summary:October, 1915, and perhaps one of the most spectacular and horrifying events to be covered by the newsreels: the sinking of a German cruiser during the World War I. The thousands of crew members are seen clinging precariously to the hull of the giant ship, with only a few lucky enough to escape into lifeboats. NOTE: Date is approximate. This clip may contain footage from multiple events; exact date or dates may be unknown.
