Title
Battle of the Espero convoy. Part 7
Description
The searchlight of a Royal Navy vessel casts a yellow beam onto a group of survivors. Some of them are swimming, others are on a raft. In the foreground, a life craft can be seen on the turret on the deck of another ship. A second Royal Navy vessel in the distance is shining two searchlights into the sky.
