A whole plate negative. A port near broadside view, taken from just abaft the beam, of the 3 masted ship rigged vessel Windsor Castle (1857) at moorings in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. She is rigged with double topsails on the fore and main, a single topsail on the mizzen and single topgallants with no royals on all masts. The Coast Guard Watch Vessel CGWV 28 (1847) is on the Tilbury shore in the left background. The negative has been broken and discarded but a 12x10 photographic print made before the damage in the 1950s is available for scanning. Negatives numbers 5989, P6914, R633, R634 and R635 are also of this image.
