Study of a British destroyer at speed and (below) a monitor and a three-masted sailing vessel, with rough sketches of an aircraft, and a ship's boats
The top image is a British destroyer of the 'Acorn' (H) or 'Acasta' (K) classes at speed. The period could be between 1912 and 1917. The lower image is an M15-Class monitor built in 1915: its armament is one of the early type (M15 - M28). The three masted barque is not identifiable. The boat arrangement sketch, lower right, probably shows the stern of monitors of the 'Marshal Ney' and/or 'Erebus' classes.
