This photograph depicts the German Cruiser Karlsruhe docked in Portland, Oregon in June 1932. The cruiser is anchored along the waterfront, and the city's skyline, with buildings and signs, is visible in the background. Notable advertisements and company buildings, such as the Portland Trust Savings Bank, can be seen, providing a historical view of the city's commercial district during that time.The Karlsruhe was a light cruiser of the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) that served during the early 20th century. Launched in 1927, it was one of the K-class cruisers and was known for its participation in various naval activities of the era. The visit to Portland in 1932 was part of a goodwill tour, reflecting international naval diplomacy during the interwar period. This photo offers a glimpse into maritime history and the interactions between German and American cities during a peaceful time.Visible in the image are signs for a 4% interest rate at Portland Trust Savings Bank, J.K. Gill Co., Monnig & Cristler, and other businesses. This information helps place the context of the photograph within the commercial hub of Portland. Caption: "GERMAN CRUISER KARLSRUHE."
