Admiralty Floating Dock 11 (1924) in Fountain Lake, Portsmouth Dockyard, Hampshire.

Looking west along the floating dock AFD 11 (1924) from the top of the north side wall in the centre of the dock. The dock is moored in Fountain Lake, Portsmouth Dockyard. The floor of the dock is cluttered with wooden towers, steel reinforcing, scaffolding, timber, concrete rubble, crane jibs and railway tracks, the aftermath of the construction in the dock of phoenix floating caisson units. A large number of men are working to clear the chaos. There are a large number of trawlers and other vessels alongside North Wall in the background. The Portsmouth Dockyard negative register number P162/44 has been written in the bottom left corner of the negative.
