A close view of the port side of the stern of the Royal Navy light cruiser Belfast (1938) alongside Middle Slip Jetty in Portsmouth Dockyard. The photographer is on the jetty looking aft and to starboard from abreast the after funnel and everything forward of 'X' turret is out of the picture. The ship's brow is still on board but the crew are mustered at 'Hands for leaving harbour' stations.
