SHIPYARDS WRECKED
IN BRITISH AIR RAIDS ON WILHELMSHAVEN. EVIDENCE IN PHOTOGRAPHS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, July 15. Photographs of Wilhelmshaven taken since the raid of July 9 show that the bombing did useful damage. As it has not been possible to take photographs in clear weather, only the most obvious damage can be detected. The Marinwerft submarine yards had an armour plate shop completely gutted and five other buildings burnt out. The damage done must affect the output of the whole yard. The Deutsche Werke, which was engaged in warship repairs, had its engineering workshop and smithy severely damaged. Ship stores and workshops have been burnt out on the east side of Bauhafen, six or seven large shops being wrecked.
