HMS Glorious and SS Florida locked together after the
collision.
It is difficult to make out, but the two square windows
along the top edge of the photo belong to the Florida, and are facing the
bow, hence the photo is taken from near water level just off the port bow
of the Florida, looking up into the damaged area. The bow of
Glorious is just about discernable coming in from the right of the photo.
