A close view of the port side, in way of the mizzen mast, of the hulk of the steamship Great Britain (1843) beached in Sparrow Cove, Falkland Islands. The photographer is in a boat looking up at the broken accommodation ladder, the mizzen chains fitted outboard on the bulwark, and the bottom of the mizzen lower mast. The birds perched on the ship's hull are Falkland Island shags.
