to the right are further motor launches. All of these small vessels are painted in striped colour schemes, with dark and pale grey, to help
distinguish them from enemy submarines. Further back various merchant vessels are moored in the harbour and distinctive Maltese buildings
are visible along both edges of the water. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | shipping Royal Navy 1914-1918 Merchant Navy Transport Mediterranean 1914-1918 Architecture Royal Navy dazzle / marine camouflage Naval Operations First World War | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Mason, Frank | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
