Description
Gallipoli, Turkey. 1915. The hulk of the French Navy battleship Massena off V Beach in the Cape Helles area. The ship had been towed from Toulon and scuttled next to the River Clyde, on 9 November 1915, to form part of an artificial harbour. Other blockships were sunk off V and W Beaches for the same purpose. (Donor Professor J.R. Kay-Mouat)
