A 12x10 negative. A fair quality port broadside view of an unidentified general cargo steamship under tow in Gravesend Reach, River Thames, bound up. She is laden and is a three island type with raised forecastle, bridge deck and poop, single funnel, two masts, vertical stem and counter stern. She has two holds forward, served by derricks on the foremast, one hold between the bridge and funnel, served by a ventilator derrick post just ahead of the funnel, and one hold aft served by derricks on the mainmast and on the forward edge of the poop. She has four lifeboats, one pair abaft the funnel and one pair on the poop. There are two low ventilator cowls ahead of the funnel in addition to the ventilator derrick post. She has navigation light towers on her forecastle. She is flying a pilot flag but her jack, houseflag and ensign cannot be made out. Tilbury is in the background.
