A view from the Control Top on the foremast looking forward over the Forecastle Deck on the light cruiser HMS 'Aurora' (1913), while underway at sea. The forward 6 inch gun is unmanned, but the ready use ammunition can be seen in the boxes behind the breakwater. Three officers are on the Compass Platform, one of which is using binoculars and looking out over the starboard bow.
