Arrow (1897)

A 12x10 negative. A starboard near broadside view, taken from just abaft the beam, of the spritsail rigged topsail barge Arrow (1897) under sail during the June 1899 Thames Barge Match. She has a number flag on her forestay and her bob is a dark six pointed star on a white background. Her leeboard is lowered and she is passing a marker boat. There is some doubt as to the correct identity of this barge. Negatives numbers G94, G1056 and G1058 are of the same vessel.
