This film shows the capsize of the SMS Szent István in 1918. The Austro-Hungarian battleship had been intercepted by two Italian MAS boats and subsequently sank. Most of the ships crew managed to escape due to the Austrian navy's mandate that all of its sailors be taught to swim, which was actually a bit unusual for navies of that era. The film itself was taken by Austrian naval personnel from the SMS Tegetthoff which was nearby.
