Background

About the ship

SMS König Albert, a Kaiser-class battleship, was laid down as Ersatz Ägir and built at the Schichau shipyards in Danzig. The ship was named after King Albert of Saxony. From 1914 through 1916, as part of the High Seas Fleet, the battleship participated in covering raids and laying minefields. On May 29, 1916, just two days before the Battle of Jutland, the ship went to Wilhelmshaven for repairs, becoming the only German battleship to miss the renowned battle.
