SM Minelayer Pelikan

Description[]

Although this minelayer is only a minelaying cruiser in the broadest possible meaning, it still is a valuable addition to the fleet. It was built in 1891 at the Kaiserliche Werft shipyard in Wilhelmshaven and refitted in 1908 to match more recent criteria of use.
