HMS 'Benbow' at Christmas, 1918<br>
Inscribed by the artist, lower right, 'Benbow Xmas'. The battleship 'Benbow' was built by Beardmore at Glasgow, launched on 12 November 1913 and completed in October 1914.  This nearly port-broadside study from off the port bow depicts her at Christmas 1918 with a flying-off platform and deflection scales on 'B' turret, and Christmas trees in her rigging.
