The light cruiser HMS 'Arethusa' (1913) at moorings off Harwich.
A port bow view of the light cruiser HMS 'Arethusa' (1913) at moorings off Harwich. She is flying the Commodore's pennant from the main mast. The bow and stern are slightly out of focus.
The photograph was taken sometime between January 1915 when Aurora and Arethusa were together at Harwich and 11 February 1916 when Arethusa struck a mine and broke her back after drifting onto a shoal while under tow.
