France:
Steam screw-driven frigate L’Astrée (1859). A photo of the ship at full speed in 1869.
Coaling was hard and dirty work but the monotony of the task was softened a little by music from the ship’s band. Here, it looks like the battleship Provence in taking on coal from a collier tied up alongside. Coal is brought out of the hold in sacks or baskets and emptied out onto the deck from where it is shovelled down into the bunkers. One of the saxophonists has a lapel badge of a musician but the others are a rather motley crowed in ragged jackets and an assortment of headgear. Maybe even the musician have to take their turn at coaling.

Battleship HMS King George V at Seydisfjordur, Iceland after she collided with the destroyer HMS Punjabi, 3 May 1942
At 1545 hours [1 May 1942] north east of Iceland in thick fog the Battlefleet was zigzagging when they ran into a thick bank of fog; immediately KING GEORGE V made a signal to cease zigzagging. Destroyer PUNJABI failed to receive the signal and carried on zigzagging and crossed under the flagship's bows. KING GEORGE V travelling at 25 knots cut PUNJABI clean in half; PUNJABI's stern sank almost immediately. The collision caused a 40 foot gash in the bow of KING GEORGE V and also under water damage. As the stern of PUNJABI sank her ready use depth charges exploded directly under the keel of the WASHINGTON the vessel immediately astern of KING GEORGE V, causing slight damage to WASHINGTON.
The fore section of PUNJABI sank slowly which enabled many of her crew to abandon ship. Destroyers MARNE and MARTIN were able to pick up 201 survivors. 49 were lost mainly from the stern section.
Battleships HMS King George V and HMS Howe at Port-of-Algiers, 24 July 1943. The two ships were part of a reinforcement of British forces in the Mediterranean for Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily.
