The Grand Fleet at sea
A view of the 6th Division of the 1st Battle Squadron, seen from HMS Queen Elizabeth (1913). The photograph was taken from the starboard side of the shelter deck just forward of 'X' turret, looking aft. The 6th Division is crossing Queen Elizabeth's wake and from the head of the line onwards comprises HMS Marlborough (1912), HMS Agincourt (1914) and HMS Neptune (1909). More batleships can be seen in line ahead behind them, but cannot be identified on account of the distance.
