A distant starboard near broadside view, taken from just abaft the beam, of Royal Navy central battery ship Penelope (1867) at anchor in port, possible at Harwich. Her funnel is lowered and she has an accommodation ladder rigged amidships. On the right, and seen from just ahead of her port beam, is the gunboat Redwing (1880) under way. A single funnelled merchant steamship and a few two-masted sailing vessels are anchored in the background.
