This is thought to be HMS E-6 at sea sometime in 1914. "Three hours after the outbreak of war, submarines
E-6 (Lieutenant-Commander Cecil P. Talbot) and E-8 (Lieutenant-Commander Francis H. H. Goodhart) proceeded, unaccompanied, to carry out a reconnaissance in the Heligoland Bight. These two vessels returned with useful information, and had the privilege of being the pioneers on a service which is attended by some risks."
