Quieter today

But one hundred years ago would this view have been full of battleships? I've seen it described as the largest assembly of naval warships ever, as the British Grand Fleet, combined with American and French ships, assembled in the Forth to accept the surrender of the German High Seas Fleet under the terms of the Armistice. The Allied ships went out in two lines to meet the German fleet and brought them back to the Firth of Forth. By mid afternoon the German ships were anchored under guard 'east of Inchkeith'.
