'Raising Dredger, Hong Kong January 1901'
A view of the activity to right the sunken dredger Canton River in Hong Kong harbour. The mooring barge (No. 16) is bows-to the camera with a 12-oared whaler broadside-to obscuring the dredger's hull. A steam lifting crane is the right of the whaler bows-to the upturned dredger's hull.
In the background on the left is part of the neoclassical Queen's Building, Hong Kong, completed in 1897.
The original negative envelope was labelled: 'Raising Dredger, H.K. 1901'. Sir Percy Scott oversaw the righting of the dredger in Hong Kong between 2 and 18 January 1901. It was finally raised in early March 1901.
