1. Title: "HMS Indefatigable (R10) in Portland Harbour, Dorset, England, 1940s" 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures the majesty and power of the HMS Indefatigable (R10), an iconic British aircraft carrier, as it anchors in Portland Harbour, near Weymouth, Dorset, England during the 1940s. The image showcases the carrier's imposing presence, with its towering superstructure and sprawling flight deck, dwarfing the surrounding boats and ships. The water reflects the grey skies above, adding to the sense of history and nostalgia. 3.
