The destroyers HMS Manly (1914), HMS Murray (1914), HMS Minos (1914) and HMS Tempest (1917) coming up astern of the light cruiser HMS Aurora (1913).

The destroyers HMS Manly (1914), HMS Murray (1914), HMS Minos (1914) and HMS Tempest (1917) coming up astern of the light cruiser HMS Aurora (1913). The sunlight can be seen glistening on the water in the wake of the Aurora. The photographer was standing at the stern just behind the ensign staff support and port/starboard depth charges.

The negative has two parallel pencil lines on the emulsion side indicating where the image was to be cropped for a publication. The lines do not affect the view of the destroyers.
