Crew portrait [in a curved panel as it is in fender]...

There were various interpretation panels in the holds / tween deck area describing the experiences of wartime sailors - and many did not survive the sinking of their ships.
An interesting variation had been to insert panels into fairly big cylindrical fenders ...

Don Sutherland, Richard Nuttall, appo-fam have particularly liked this photo
