Damaged aircraft carrier (& other vessel)?

(1/1)

HarryReed:
I would be most grateful if anyone can shed light on the attached photos - the first of which appears to be of a damaged aircraft carrier and the second of another stricken vessel close to shore.

Any insights appreciated!

PhiloNauticus:
The carrier is HMS Glorious, photographed after her collision with the French liner Florida on 1 April 1931 off the coast of Spain; she initially went to Malaga and then to Gibraltar for temporary repairs, then to Malta in May for more permanent repair

HarryReed:
Thank you very much for the information on HMS Glorious!
