View of minesweeping gear on the sterns of two ships, taken at
Lorient, France, in 1918.
The ship in the foreground is USS Anderton (SP-530), which
was originally named Raymond J. Anderton.
Note ships' minesweeping floats and davits; and the rack, holding
two depth charges, mounted on the stern of the more distant minesweeper.
