Shipping in Gravesend Reach, River Thames, bound down with Tilbury, Essex, in the right background.

Shipping in Gravesend Reach, River Thames, bound down. The photographer is on board an outward bound Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cruise ship looking aft showing the lightly laden Swedish cargo ship Gunlog (1917) on the left, seen from off her port bow. Her stem is out of the picture. In the background and also seen from off her port bow is the Leyland passenger liner Belgenland (1917). She is dressed overall. Tilbury Landing Stage and the Tilbury Hotel are in the right background, partially hidden in the typical London smog.
