A starboard near broadside view, taken from abaft the beam, of the helicopter support ship Lofoten (1945) alongside the east wall of No. 3 basin in Devonport Dockyard.

Everything aft of her funnel is out of the picture. The photographer is on the west wall of the basin looking across the stern of the ocean minesweeper Jewel (1944).
