Dresden Today. Most of the West's knowledge of life in East Germany today is gleaned from refugees, or guided tours of East Berlin, the regime's carefully rebuilt showcase. But last week TIME Correspondent William Rademaekers was allowed a rare U.S. look at Dresden, East Germany's third largest city, set deep in the southern Saxony hills of East Germany on the Czechoslovakian border.

It does state that the old vessel was taken down to bare structure and rebuilt as a sloop of 24 guns. It was pointed out to me that in 1852 the ship was placed in drydock to check her underside and that it was found that a false keel should have been made as her old keel was badly warped or bogged. I found that in July and August of 1853 the false keel...
