SMS Salamander

SMS Salamander was an ironclad gunboat of the Wespe class built for the German Kaiserliche Marine in the 1870s. The ships, which were armed with a single 30.5 cm (12 in) MRK L/22 gun, were intended to serve as part of a coastal defense fleet. Because Salamander was a purely defensive vessel, she saw little active use, apart from brief stints in active service for sea trials in 1883, followed by annual training exercises held from 1885 to 1891. She was struck from the naval register in 1909 and sold to ship breakers the next year. While en route to the breakers' yard in the Netherlands, she ran aground and could not be freed. The wreck was partially scrapped in situ, but the hull remains and was eventually buried in silt.
