The mine-damaged destroyer HMS Matchless (1914) in the floating dock at Harwich.
A close-up of the port quarter of the destroyer Matchless (1914) in a floating dock at Harwich. Her stern is missing, exposing her bulkheads, due to being mined on 9 November and her stern blown off. People are standing on the deck looking at the damage. In the foreground is a ship's motor pinnace tied alongside the dock.
The negative has a small blemish in the middle of the photograph, which is slightly out of focus.
