A port quater view of the ketch-rigged sailing vessel Charles Francis (1883) aground on Garrison, St. Mary's.
A port quarter view of the wooden sailing ketch Charles Francis (1883) shore, upright, on the rocky foreshore below The Garrison, St. Mary's, Scilly. The tide is out leaving the ketch dried out, with the sea just off the starboard side. A group of people are standing on the shore by the port bow. The photographer was standing on the rounded-boulder strewn foreshore looking towards the ketch with further islands in the background.
A copy negative of an original print.
The ketch Charles Francis was on passage with a cargo of coal beating into a northeasterly wind and missed its stays through a tack so went ashore at Garrison [Gibson ledger]. No specific date was given about this incident.
