A Curtiss H4 flying boat taxying on the water off Parkeston Quay.

A view from the light cruiser HMS Aurora (1913) of a Curtiss H4 flying boat taxying on the water in front of Parkeston Quay. The Parkeston Station's tower can be seen prominently in the background. A ship's rowing boat is in front of the flying boat heading towards the photographer.

The negative is very over exposed and scratched giving a very poor quality image.
