Description

A view of Murmansk, taken from HMT Porto, overlooking the harbour towards the railway. The piles driven in the foreground show the commencement of a new wharf to accomodate the increased shipping created by the North Russian Expeditionary Force. The first fall of snow had just occurred when this photograph was taken.
