The vessel on the left is a pre-dreadnought battleship, probably one of the 'king edward vii'-class. She has awnings rigged aft and amidships. The ship to the right of centre is a light cruiser and the vessel on the right seems to be based on a 'marksman'-class destroyer leader which were only built from 1916-17. Date: circa 1917.
