A 12x10 negative. A slightly distant starboard side view, taken from ahead of the beam, of the general cargo spritsail rigged barge Centaur (1899) under sail in the Thames estuary during the Medway Barge Match. She is on the port tack and her white jibsail is boomed out to port. Her crew are in racing white tops and she has Gill's bob on her forestay. The tip of her mast is out of the picture.
