Description
English: Below the drawing Hillier describes the context in handwritten text: 'The large natural harbours in the Island of

Lemnos, about 40 miles from Gallipoli. This is the advanced Base for these operations, Alexandria being the main Base. The Bay is a fine anchorage, 2 or 3 miles wide, but base [sic] as a pikestaff of everything wanted for a Fleet, even fresh water'.
 image: A view of shipping gathered in Mudros Bay, with the ships moored along the coastline of the Greek island of Lemnos. The vessels appear to be mainly merchant and transport ships. A section of quay is visible in the right foreground and steam drifts

skywards from the funnels of some of the ships.
Date 1915 (First World War)

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
