A whole plate size salted paper print. A port stern view of the sailing ship Mary of St Ives secured to a mooring buoy and dried out at low tide at Swansea. Ahead of the Mary, off the port bow is the Schooner-rigged(?) Liberty of Teignmouth with a ship's boat tied alongside the port broadside. An unidentified sailing ship is in the far distance off the Liberty's bow.

Reverse has been annotated in pencil by Admiral Ballard in 1934: 'Swansea in 1835'
