Description |
English: Calm: destroyers and a scout cruiser (HMS 'Foresight' or 'Forward') Inscribed by the artist, 'Fearless', under the three-funnelled scout cruiser, third from left. The three destroyers look like L-class vessels of 1913-14 (from the 4-inch gun between the funnels). The cruiser is mistakenly identified by Wyllie, since the 'Fearless' had four funnels and a raised forecastle, and is in fact either the 'Foresight' or 'Forward' (both 1904). Assuming the drawing is dated to about 1914-15, the fact that the destroyers are shown with three yards on the foremast is unusual and lacking explanation. The boats may be taking captains to the cruiser for a meeting, since it would be the flagship of the group. |
