Activity in the Careenage at Bridgetown, Barbados. The photographer is looking north-east from near the entrance to Blackwoods screw Dock on the south side showing the Ramsgate registered fishing vessel Quartette (1895) alongside the quay north of the screw dock. Three schooners are alongside wharves and an harbour police rowing boat crewed by the two is in the foreground. The custom house and the premises occupied by Robert Thom Ltd and T.S. Garraway & Co Ltd are fronting The Wharf Road. The clock tower of the Public Building is in the right background and the clock is reading 10.40.
