Looking aft from the port side of the compass platform on board HMS 'Aurora' (1913) during speed trials.
A view from the port side of the fore bridge wing, just forward of the foremast, looking back towards the funnels and wake of the light cruiser HMS 'Aurora' (1913). Black smoke is belching from funnel No. 2 (middle) partially obscuring the view.
HMS Aurora left Sheerness having been refitted at Chatham on 17 May and proceeded at high speed to Portsmouth. The next day was spent conducting mine laying trials off Spithead. [Ship's log, TNA, ADM 53/34496].
