A general view looking north-east towards Fountain Lake and Flathouse from on board a vessel in Portsmouth Harbour. On the left is Whale Island with ships of the Reserve Fleet berthed stern-on to the shore. The aircraft carrier Centaur (1947) is alongside the North West Wall serving as accommodation ship for the aircraft carrier Hermes (1953) which is undergoing a refit in in D Lock. The bow of the aircraft carrier Eagle (1946) is on the right alongside Middle Slip Jetty and it appears to be shrouded in netting.
