[ArvoLV]

Esteemed forum members;

I encountering many challenges in locating a more definitive (side view) line drawing of the German seaplane tender "Santa Elena", which was active in the Baltic Sea during the course of the First World War.

I would be most thankful if I can be pointed in the right direction, so as to locate same.

Thank you kindly in advance;
