The light cruiser HMS 'Penelope' (1914) underway in rough seas.
A distant starboard view of the light cruiser HMS 'Penelope' (1914) underway in rough seas, as seen from the deck of HMS 'Aurora' (1913). The forecastle of the 'Penelope' is obscured by the spray washing across the bows.
The date is questionable, as the log for Aurora states that the wind was N-NE force 1-3 on 24 March 1916, which does not match the sea conditions in the photograph. The preceding days were similar.
There are some areas near the bottom of the negative where the emulsion has become detached and then been touched-up.
