Cox & Danks- Lifting a destroyer
The winding gear in position on the lower limbs of the two L-shaped docks, which here are positioned each facing each other over a sunken German destroyer. Cables have been passed under the wreck and led up over the large pulleys overhanging the dock edges. The cables are connected by block and tackle to hand winches, which have handles for men to wind in the cables
