Zealandia (1869)
A quarter plate negative. A slightly distant starboard near broadside view, taken from only just abaft the beam, of the 3 masted ship rigged vessel Zealandia (1869) at moorings in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. She is rigged with double topsails, single topgallants, royals and skysails. she has painted ports and is flying the blue peter. The pristine condition of the ship indicates that the date may be 28 August 1869 when she is preparing to depart from Gravesend on her maiden voyage. Tilbury Fort Watergate is in the right background. A Gould copy of Gould whole plate negative number G1586.
