I imagine the oil paintings would be lost. And any watercolors would be especially difficult to restore.

The story confuses two different ships.

A German Light cruiser sunk in 1941, and an old steamer both named Karlsruhe sunk in 1945.

The light cruiser was sunk in combat by a British submarine.

The unarmed steamer carrying civilians was sunk by the cowardly pilots Soviet Russian air force.
