Two watercolour studies on a single sheet, both including slightly differing port-bow views of an approaching twin-funnelled destroyer, probably of Yarrow M- or R-class. The top drawing seems to show gunnery practice at towed floating targets, probably in Scapa Flow. The lower one is inscribed 'Phaeton' by the artist, lower right, where - to the right of the destroyer- he has added a distant port-broadside view of this three-funnelled light cruiser, launched on 21 October 1914 and completed February 1915. She served in the 1st Light Cruiser Squadron of the Grand Fleet, 1915-18, and is here depicted with a tripod foremast in the period 1917-18. The airship in the lower drawing is one of the Coastal type, C1 - C27, which operated from early 1916 to the end of the war. If the location of the lower view is not the Orkneys, it certainly has the appearance of also being Scottish.
