Boats from the British ships picking up the survivors of the Gneisenau.

Nearly two hundred of the Gneisenaus crew were picked up after she sank, but many of these died as a consequence of their sudden immersion in nearly freezing water. The survivors declared that nearly six hundred men had been killed outright onboard, and that the entire upper deck of the ship had been shot away. When every round of ammunition had been fired, the surviving officers opened the submerged torpedo tubes to let in the water and sink the ship. For his services in destroying the German squadron, Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee was created a Baronet. In the Invincible, Mr Thomas A Wells, Carpenter R.N., was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, while leading seamen (first Class Gunlayer) F.S. Martin, and engine room Artificer G. H. F. McCarten, were given the Distinguished Service Medal, which decoration was also awarded to Chief engine Room Artificer robber Snowdon of the Inflexible.
