"FUNERAL OF BAYERN
GERMAN BATTLESHIP REFLOATED
GREAT FEAT OF SALVAGE
Another great salvage feat: was successfully concluded when the ex- German battleship Bayern, one of the two most powerful ships which were scuttled with the rest of the surrendered fleet in June of 1919, was brought safely into the lock at Rosyth Dockyard after being towed upside-down from Scapa Flow.
As the salvaged battleship yield. ed slowly to the persuasion of the tugs on the last few miles, up the Forth to Rosyth Dockyard, she was the central figure of an Impressive spectacle.
Seen from the Forth Bridge, it was indeed a remarkable sight. Shortly before 11 a.m. the fog which enveloped the rivar lifted slightly, and revealed two indis tinct shapes in the distance.
Fully five minutes elapsed before the Bayern and her convoy of tugg could be discerned from the faland of Inchoolm. Gradually they moved forward, and as they neared the bridge the sun appeared in Лnal salute.
It was then that the great battle- ship, in spite of her inverted posi- tion, recaptured some of her old splendour.
The scene was reminiscent of a Royal procession. A large Dutch tug, the Zwarte Zee, led the pro- cession, and alongside the glisten- ing, deep-rusted hull two smaller tuge, also with blue-banded fun- nela, were in attendance. The salvage ship of Metal Industries (Ltd.), the Metinda, was another attendant.
A couple of aeroplanes swooped from the azure sky and dipped in salute. A small pleasure steamer, two motor, boats, and a number of rowing boats moved up and down
the route.
