Description: | image: The Allied fleet at sea. Six vessels move across the composition from left to right. In the foreground a senior
British Naval officer (in profile) peers through a telescope held in his right hand. Behind him the head and shoulders of an Able Seaman
(also in profile). They stand beside a gun turret, the nearest barrel of which stretches across the composition diagonally towards the
right. Above the seamen, there floats the white ensign, cut off at the left. In the immediate background there appears, in profile, the
French battleship Charlemagne, flying the tricolour at the prow and making smoke. The foreword guns are firing, emitting large white
clouds. In the distance part of another French prow is seen and two other smaller vessels, again making smoke. Above these, two seaplanes
circle.
