The image shows HMS Ajax, a powerful and iconic warship of the time, firing its guns in a display of accuracy and power. The scene is observed from the deck of HMS Marlborough, an Iron Duke-class battleship that bears the name of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, a renowned British military leader.
