The crew of the German trawler Resie (1891) being rowed to the light cruiser HMS Aurora (1913).

A view of the crew from the German trawler Resie (1891) being rowed in a ship's boat towards the light cruiser HMS Aurora (1913). In the background is the trawler Resie. The photographer was standing on board the light cruiser HMS Aurora (1913).

The Aurora was on patrol from 6 October to the morning of 8 October, zig zagging as required for examining trawlers. The Resie was brought into Harwich as a prize and taken into the Royal Navy as the Clearsin.

The photograph is blurred due to the movement of the ship and the ship's boat.
