Arrow (1897)

A 12x10 negative. A starboard broadside view 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 raised and the wind is off her starboard quarter. Her crew have white trousers. There is some doubt as to the correct identity of this barge. Negatives numbers G94, G1056 and G1058 are of the same vessel.
