War artist Tom Wood's 1945 canvas depicts the Canadian corvette HMCS Parry Sound in Loch Foyle, Northern Ireland.

Loch Foyle (also called Lough Foyle) is the estuary of the River Foyle and the approach to Londonderry, an important base for Allied convoy escorts during the Second World War. Between 1942 and 1945, Londonderry rivalled St. John's, Newfoundland in importance as a port for ships and personnel of the Royal Canadian Navy. Dozens of warships and thousands of sailors used the base.
