A general view of the scene of the wreck of the Royal Navy protected cruiser Gladiator (1896) off Sconce Point, Norton, Isle of Wight. The photographer is probably on Fort Victoria Pier. The Gladiator (1896), lying on her starboard side, has sheerlegs fitted to her hull and the tug Adur (1877) is alongside a camel attached to the keel. The Royal Navy flat-iron gunboats Arrow (1871), Snap (1872), Mastiff (1871) and Bonetta (1871) have been fitted with pumping equipment and are close to the wreck's upperworks. A copy negative of a photographic print.
