I attended a memorial service at Christ Church Cathedral in 1983 for the men who died in the Graf Spee episode, some of whom are buried in the cemetery. Strangely enough the ship I was serving on was HMS Achilles. I remember seeing the rusting hull of the SS Great Britain as well and in contrast the burnt and buckled superstructure of the Sir Galahad.

Hope this link helps.
