One of the ship's two coil storage holds (cable tanks) with its core tower looking aft, photographed by David Haas in 2008. This shows her configuration when she was laid up for the last time in 1983, not her World War II configuration, although cable tanks like this were in use then including in at least one of the ships that laid the HAIS cable, HMS Sancroft.
