Another photograph of the salvage operations, May 18, 1942.
This is looking toward the bow of the ship from behind the foremast. The
superstructure and the foremast
are leaning away from the camera into the gap produced by the exploding
magazines. The port leg of the
foremast has been removed as part of the process of
salvaging material from the ship. (This photo has been
cropped slightly to adjust for a tilted camera.)
