A bullock on the deck of the armoured cruiser HMS Cornwall (1902) at Hare Bay, Newfoundland, before being hoisted out.
A photograph taken on the starboard side of the upper deck on the armoured cruiser HMS Cornwall (1902) showing a bullock standing on deck prior to being hoisted out into a tender alongside the ship. The Cornwall was transferring 'fresh meat' in the form of cattle from Hawke Bay to Hare Bay, Newfoundland, where the photograph shows the cattle being unloaded. The cow is standing side-on to the camera with a sailor standing next to it, back to camera, holding onto a rope tied to its horns. Other rope lengths are lying on the deck, as are cow pats and urine patches where cattle have been previously hoisted out. Cadets, one with a camera, and sailors are standing in the background below the Boat Deck beams watching. A dark canvas has been spread over the canvas-covered hammock bins on the right of the image.
