Description: The Toulon Naval Dockyard, France photographed from the Coaling Station circa late 1944, showing wreckage left from the scuttling of the French fleet on 27 November 1942, plus subsequent bombing damage. The destroyers sunk just off shore are (from left to right): Tartu, Cassard and L'Indomptable (all sunk upright), Vautour (nearly fully submerged) and Aigle (capsized and blown in two). In the right center distance is the partially dismantled old battleship Condorcet. A number of heavy guns, many damaged, are in the left center foreground, with a large bomb crater adjacent to them. Several other bomb craters are in the right foreground.
