Photo[edit]

Although captioned by source (Library of Congress) as of De Ruyter, the Koningin Regentes-class coastal defense ship had only one funnel. This is a Holland-class cruiser. Close examination of the source's tiff file shows the name on the stern that looks like Utrecht. I will substitute this photo with a sister from the right Class.
