The photographer is standing on the quarterdeck (2 deck) by the ensign staff looking forward. The towing bollards in the foreground are covered by wooden boxes. The starboard unifoxer winch is on the right. Between the awning stanchions on the centreline are a watertight hatch, berthing wire and mooring pendant reels and covered liferafts. The ship's bell is mounted on the awning stanchion abaft the mortar well and to the left of it is the port unifoxer winch.
