Yarmouth (1959) as fitted after refit

A 2¾ x 2¼ film negative. On board the Type 12 frigate Yarmouth (1959) alongside the South-West Wall in Portsmouth Dockyard. This is said to be inside the senior rates recreation space on the port side of 2 deck between 16 and 18½ stations looking aft and to starboard from the port forward corner. A cupboard covered with cups, pans, a paint tin with brushes in it and a tin of Nestle's Ideal Milk is in the left foreground. Carpenter's tools and tool bag and pieces of wood are on the settee bench and a noticeboard is on the bulkhead above it. The doorway is curtained. A hand written list with the negative originally identified this as 'Senior ratings WCs from door to port' but then amended the description to 'Senior ratings recreation space.' Admiralty Service Drawing Number 955655/2 of 2 certified 18/10/68 shows this space as being the senior rates WCs and the kit locker space.
