Port Jackson (1882)

A whole plate negative. A starboard near broadside view, taken from only just ahead of the beam, of the 4 masted barque rigged passenger/cargo liner Port Jackson (1882) at moorings in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. She has double topsails, double topgallants and single royals and also has painted ports. Skiffs are in the foreground. Tilbury Fort Watergate is in the background. The emulsion has stripped off the negative and it has been discarded. A 12x10 photographic print produced in the 1950s before the negative was damaged is available for scanning.
