* SMS Königsberg and the Battle of Zanzibar– SMS Königsberg was a German light cruiser named after the capital of East Prussia. On September 20th 1914 the SMS Königsberg surprised the British ship Pegasus as it was in Zanzibar Harbor for repairs. The resulting attack sank the Pegasus. After the battle, one of the SMS Königsberg’s main engines broke down and the ship went up the Rufiji River to wait for repairs. The ship was discovered by the British who created a blockade and eventually attacked the ship, damaging it beyond repair.
