Salthoouse Dock was a terminal for the salt industry at that time. Can't see why HMS 'anything' would be berthed there.

I thought Maritime Museum would have known better.

HMS Eaglet was HMS Eagle originally, re-named about 1918. Destroyed by fire in 1926 . The new Eaglet was berthed in Salthouse dock and was originally a 24 class sloop HMS Sir Bevis from the First World War.(according to Wikipedia)

Great pictures Zip - keep them coming!

Just a note on post #902971 - '1910s Liner at Liverpool pierhead.' - That ship is either the RMS Baltic, Cedric, Celtic, or Adriatic (White Star Line). My Grandad was on the Cedric and Baltic when they were troopships in WW1.

See: Wikapedia Baltic
