A distant starboard quarter view of the captured German trawler Adjudant (1894) hove to off the light cruiser HMS Aurora (1913) having been intercepted.

Aurora left Harwich on the evening of 29 September and stopped a German trawler at 330pm on 30 September, transferring the crew and sending over a prize crew [Ship's Log, TNA, ADM 53/34495]. This vessel was brought into Harwich by a prize crew and added to the Royal Navy as HMS Campsin.

The negative has a number of surface scratches on it affecting the image.
