The light cruiser HMS 'Arethusa' (1913) under way at speed in the North Sea

A starboard broadside view of the light cruiser HMS 'Arethusa' (1913) under way at speed in the North Sea on patrol. In the background are the bow (just behind Arethusa) and stern (to the right of the image) of two unidentified warships.

HMS Aurora (1913) was in company with Arethusa on 5 August while on patrol in the North Sea off the Frisian Coast. [ship's Log: TNA, ADM 53/34495]

The negative has slight shading from fingerprints, but otherwise the image is good.
