Description

A 'bulge cruiser', one of the warships which began to reappear off the Gallipoli Peninsula. They included the old cruisers, Grafton, Endymion, Edgar and Theseus. On their sides huge bugles had been built as a protection against torpedo explosion. The bugle on this ship is seen just above the waterline.
