A close view of the port side of the after part of the Royal Navy light cruiser Belfast (1938) leaving Middle Slip Jetty in Portsmouth Dockyard, bound out. The photographer is on the jetty abreast the forefunnel looking aft and to starboard showing the Royal Naval Reserve crew mustered at 'Hands for leaving harbour' station. Everything forward of the twin 4 inch gun mounts, the top of the mainmast and the top of the after funnel are out of the picture.
