Description

The names are unclear from the prints, but one of the ships shown might be the tanker British Character. If so, this photograph can be dated to 1941 (the British Character was launched on 25th August 1941), and it is almost certain that the others in this group (LON01/01/TW/006-011) were taken at the same time.
