Summary
Below the drawing Hillier describes the context in handwritten text: 'The large natural harbours in the Island of
Lemnos, about 40 miles from Gallipoli. This is the advanced Base for these operations, Alexandria being the main Base. The Bay is a fine anchorage, 2 or 3 miles wide, but base [sic] as a pikestaff of everything wanted for a Fleet, even fresh water'.
image: A view of shipping gathered in Mudros Bay, with the ships moored along the coastline of the Greek island of Lemnos.
The vessels appear to be mainly merchant and transport ships. A section of quay is visible in the right foreground and steam drifts
skywards from the funnels of some of the ships.
Set of images depicting various harbors, ports, and piers together with ships, fishing and sailing boats, and all types of haven-like places and views. All large image sets on Picryl.com are made in two steps: First, we picked a set to train AI vision to recognize the feature, and after that, we ran all 25M+ images in our database through an image recognition machine. As usual, all media in the collection belong to the public domain. There is no limitation on the dataset usage - educational, scientific, or commercial.
