HMS Queen Elizabeth (1913)
The compass platform of HMS Queen Elizabeth (1913), seen from the admiral's bridge. The three men in the picture are (from left to right) Midshipman Cecil E C Robinson, Lieutenant Harold R G Kinahan and Captain Melville S Innes RM.
The main compass is just visible behind Lieutenant Kinahan, while the azimuth compass is between him and the camera. Both compasses have voicepipes fitted in close proximity. The object mounted on a thin pole to the left of the main compass is a portable range-finder. Also of note to the right of the picture is the folding table for the navigating officer with its canvas cover to protect the charts from wind and spray.
A print from this negative is also in album ALB0018 (image 18/22).
