The photograph featured is not of the City of Winchester captured and sunk by German naval forces in 1914. The photograph is of the third City of Winchester built 1952.
It looks like you're right,
this shows the same ship, the 1952 one. The source on the image doesn't give a date, so someone has presumably just assumed from the name it was the earlier ship. I've corrected the caption.
