The Rufiji river flows into the Indian Ocean 200km south of Dar-Es-Salaam. In 1915 the delta was the scene of the deadly siege of the Imperial German Navy's light cruiser the SMS Königsberg. Garth Jerome tells the story and models an evocative diorama of some of the aftermath.

Interesting article. However, I believe the Konigsberg actually had 6-inch guns, not 16 inch.
