The damaged repair ship Albatross (1928) in a dry dock in Portsmouth Dockyard, Hampshire

On board the torpedo damaged repair ship Albatross (1928) docked down in a dry dock in Portsmouth Dockyard. This appears to be in a crew space on the lower deck looking towards a bulkhead and little work has been done to clear the debris. The deck itself has been forced up and the positions of supporting beams have been marked on the deck. The ship was hit by a torpedo off Ouistreham and the forward third of the hull was flooded. Towed to Portsmouth for repair but repairs not fully completed. Negatives numbers N25650 to N25653 inclusive are four different views taken in the same crew space, possibly No. 3 mess.
