Quayside deck view of the three-masted barque Alexander von Humboldt (1906), moored on the River Tyne during the Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race in July 1993

A roll film negative showing a quayside view looking through the rigging across the deck from the port side of the three-masted barque Alexander von Humboldt (1906), moored on the River Tyne during the Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race in July 1993. Orange life preservers can be seen attached to the forecastle and the quarter deck of the vessel. The photographer appears to have had difficulty framing this photgraph as the horizon is not level.
