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, is having sheerlegs fitted to her hull. The salvage vessel Ranger (1880) and the tug Adur (1877) are alongside the keel and the dockyard lighter C46 is on the other side of the wreck. A Royal Navy flat-iron gunboat and a cruiser are in the background. A copy negative of a photographic print.
