Royal Navy ships crowded into the harbour and the bay at Gibraltar. The photographer is on the slope above the Alameda Gardens looking north-west showing five destroyers alongside the Ordnance Wharf, the two hulks Hart (1883) and Cormorant (1877) alongside the Coaling Island and the battlecruiser Hood (1918), a Leander class light cruiser and a London class heavy cruiser alongside the Detached Mole. At anchor or moored in the harbour are a Royal Fleet Auxiliary Leaf class oiler, two Leander class light cruisers, a London class heavy cruiser, two D and one C class light cruisers, 17 destroyers and the fleet supply ship Reliant (1923). Four Royal Sovereign class battleships are at anchor in the Bay of Gibraltar. This is a copy negative of a photographic print.
