It shows the light cruiser 'Dublin' (1912) after she was torpedoed by the Austrian submarine 'U4' (1908) (also given as U IV) off the Albanian coast on 9 June 1915, while being escorted by French and Italian destroyers. She was escorted back to Brindisi and was subsequently repaired and returned to the UK.
