The Royal Navy during the Second World War A30274
Summary
The Royal Navy during the Second World War
Minesweepers hard at work to make seas safe again; the float is clear of the water after heaving in the wire at the end of the sweeping operation. The photograph was taken from on board a British Algerine class minesweeper operating with a mixed flotilla operating from the naval base HMS LOCHINVAR, Granton, Scotland. Note the depth charge racks next to the men in the foreground.
Large WWII photograph collection made with aid of image recognition.
