Submarines and the depot ship 'Alecto' at Yarmouth, Norfolk

This lively sketch was previously wrongly identified as of Portsmouth Harbour. However, the topography is wrong, the submarine depot ship outboard of other vessels on the right is the 'Alecto' (1911) and the submarines are H-class boats. This suggests it is in fact Yarmouth, in 1918.
