According to Wikipedia, S.M.S Albatross was a ship in the Imperial German Navy. (S.M.S stands for "Seiner Majestät Schiff" or "His Majesty's Ship"). During World War I, Albatross was badly damaged in the Battle of Åland Islands on 2 July 1915 and was forced to beach off the island of Gotland in neutral Sweden. The ship was refloated by the Swedes and interned along with her crew for the rest of the war.

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here. If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.
