Typical Cull with very fine detail.  A bright sunny day and a benign sea shows the cruiser in shoal waters with both Kelvin Hughes sounding booms out.

A Monmouth class armoured cruiser,  she entertained the Kaiser in the Baltic on 24 June 1909. She helped sink a German cruiser at the Battle of the Falklands in 1914.  She transferred to the China Station late in 1915 and then to the North American Station at the end of that year.  Scrapped in 1920.
