The Battlecruiser Force at the Battle of Jutland, 31 May 1916, about 19.20
The British Battlecruiser Force led by the 'Lion' and followed by the 'Princess Royal', 'Tiger' and 'New Zealand', steaming approximately north-north-east towards the Grand Fleet at about 19.20 on 31May 1916 while engaging the German High Seas Fleet. On the left is the armoured cruiser 'Defence' heading south-south-west to engage the German light cruiser 'Wiesbaden'. Her consort, the armoured cruiser 'Warrior', is following and in the background between the two is possibly the armoured cruiser 'Black Prince' whose movements at this time cannot be ascertained with any certainty. Items PAF0915 and PAF0917 are alternative versions of the same event.
