Description |
English: 'A Light Cruiser off Scapa Pier' Signed by artist (in black) and lightly inscribed in pencil below it, lower right ' A light cruiser in Scapa Bay', this finished watercolour was reproduced in colour with the title given above in Wyllie's co-authored book 'More Sea Fights of the Great War', f. p. 78. The ship shown on the right, in Scapa Flow with her boat booms out, is a 'Chatham'- or 'Birmingham'- class light cruiser of the 2nd or 3rd Light Cruiser Squadron attached to the Battlecruiser Force in 1918. She appears to have range-finder baffles on her foremast, which is unusual since photographic evidence for this on any vessels of these classes is elusive. |
