The former boatyard of the British Power Boat Co. Ltd. The company was formed 30 September 1927 to use R Kemp's Hythe Boatyard which Hubert-Scott Paine had purchased in the same year. The British Power Boat Company became a limited liability company in June 1938 and was liquidated in 1947. In 1989 this site was occupied by Dreamland Electric Blanket Company. The photographer is on the shore of Southampton Water by a derelict and partially demolished quay which has an equally derelict and partially dismantled catamaran hulled vessel alongside it. The vessel has two pole masts in tabernacles and the foremast has a radar reflector at the head. The roller reefing foresail is in tatters. In the left background to the north is the mouth of the River Itchen and the Itchen Bridge. A vertical format negative.
