OriginalSMS Seeadler, a German Imperial Navy unprotected cruiser.
Reason
The last nomination got very little input, and, as to the one objection raised, I do not think it was particularly valid: There may, in theory, be other photographs of the ship, but they are most likely undigitized in some dark collection; I can't find any evidence of any others available of even moderately comparable value. Cropped to balance sky, sea, and smoke (Wikipedia's thumbnailing only really cares about width, anyway.), while including the smoke that shows its means of power.
