The steam launch Alert (1882) and a quarantine hulk in Gravesend Reach, River Thames

A 12x10 negative. A distant starboard side view, taken from well ahead of the beam, of the steam launch Alert (1882) alongside an unidentified quarantine hulk
(former sailing vessel) moored in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. The quarantine hulk is about 90 feet long and is probably a former mercantile vessel. A two masted topsail schooner is under full sail in the background. East Tilbury Marshes are in the background on the left.
