Prinz Adalbert Wreck Diving

Repairs were finally completed by October 1915. Prinz Adalbert was steaming some 20 miles west of Libau in company with a pair of destroyers on 23 October when she was intercepted by the submarine . E8 fired a spread of torpedoes at a range of approximately 1,200 m (1,300 yd), which detonated the ship's ammunition magazine. The massive explosion destroyed the ship, which sank immediately with the loss of 672 crew. There were only three survivors. The sinking was the greatest single loss of life for the German Baltic forces for the duration of the war.

it was an obsolete armoured cruiser that was too weak to be used in the north sea against the superior british fleet so used to support the german troops in the baltic,only 3 or 4 sailors survived so it s definitely a war grave.
