Goeben and Breslau Final Voyage Ends in Scrapping
The German battlecruiser Goeben, renamed Yavuz, and its sister ship Breslau were built in 1911 and served Turkey from 1914 to 1954. After a formal farewell with Turkish and German officers, Goeben was towed to Seymen for scrapping. The ships helped draw Turkey into World War I and later carried Kemal Ataturk’s body in 1938. Goeben, at 22,600 tons, now belongs to Makina ve Kimya Endustrisi for $1.3 million.
