Inscribed, as title, and signed by the artist, this shows the battlecruiser 'Princess Royal', flagship of the First Battlecruiser Squadron under Rear-Admiral Osmond Brock at Jutland on 31 May 1916. She was hit by six heavy shells during the daylight phase of the battle (sustaining loss of 22 dead and 78 wounded), arrived in Portsmouth Dockyard on 3 June 1916 for repairs and rejoined the fleet on 15 July. She is shown here in starboard-bow view in dock at Portsmouth, undergoing her battle repairs. The ship and quay swarm with men and work is presumably well ahead since the red hull suggests a red-lead undercoat as part of general repainting. This drawing was used as the colour frontispiece to Wyllie's 'More Sea Fights of the Great War' (1919), co-authored with Charles Owen and W.D. Kirkpatrick.
