A racing cutter's crew practicing off Parkeston Quay.
A view of a racing cutter practicing off Parkeston Quay. At moorings in the background off the quay is the minesweeper Mercury (1892), a converted paddle steamer, and the destroyer Flotilla Leader Lightfoot (1915).
Aurora's log records the whaler away sailing on 21 June and the ship's boats away sailing on 30 June.
The negative has a couple of small blemishes on it, but these do not affect the image.
