There is no Rastafarian Navy - there's a zero after Dread in the original caption so it should read Dreadnought Cruiser. Indomitable was a Dreadnought-class Cruiser

Alan Denney Mmm well caught, that naught!

the term Dread(naught) Cruiser is also an obsolete description. HMS Dreadnought revolutionized warships in 1906. The first "all big gun" ship, she was the first modern battleship. Jackie Fisher who designed her, also designed the battlecruisers, of which INDOMITABLE was the second ship. They were originally known as armoured cruisers until they were redesignated as battlecruisers by an Admiralty order of 24 November 1911. The confusion seems quite common as they were also known as cruiser-battleship, dreadnought cruiser and battle-cruiser before the admiralty decree. The date may be 8/10/1915. It appears she may be coaling and/or taking on supplies.

This is great.

This is great, awesome !

Minas Geraes means General Mines

Minas Geraes, or Minas Gerais is a Brazilian state.

Minas Gerais também foi o nome escolhido para um dos navios brasileiros do início do século XX.

Brazilian battleship commissioned in 1910 and not struck until the end of 1952. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_battleship_Minas_Geraes

Everyone: Thank you for your comments! While Minas Geraes was the name of this ship and so should remain the spelling in the caption, it makes sense to add the modern spelling of Minas Gerais to the record for those searching by that term. We'll add that when we update the record.
