A port bow view of the spritsail barge Tollesbury (1901) under sail leaving Harwich harbour, Essex. She has an Inner Space Tavern logo on her topsail. Harwich town, the High Lighthouse and St. Nicholas Church are in the left background. The photographer's records indicate that this negative was taken during the Chatham Barge Match; perhaps the Tollesbury is heading out for Chatham to take part in the race. A vertical format negative.
