Ships of the Grand Fleet in heavy weather

A view of Scapa Flow in heavy weather. In the foreground to the left is HMS Collingwood (1908), with HMS Agincourt (1914) just beyond her. In the distance to the right is a battleship of the Queen Elizabeth class. The stern of another battleship is just visible to the right of the picture, but the vessel cannot be identified. Given the proximity of Collingwood and Agincourt it is very likely another member of the 1st Battle Squadron. Two small drifters can also be made out in the distance.
