A close-up view of the starboard side of HMS 'Aurora' (1913), a light cruiser, taken from near the bow and looking aft towards the bridge, funnels and the work being done fitting a tripod mast. 'Aurora' was in No. 2 Graving Dock, King George Dock undergoing alterations to a minelayer and the tripod mast was to accommodate the new control top.
Aurora arrived at Hull and entered King George Lock on 21 October 1917 where she was refitted as a minelayer. She was moved out of the dock on 10 December into the basin. Aurora left Hull for Immingham on 16 December 1917 and finally arrived back in Harwich in the evening of 17 December. [Ship's Log, TNA, ADM 53/34496]
