A starboard bow view, taken from very fine off the bow, of the Royal Navy battleship Cornwallis (1901) entering the water on launching at the Thames Iron Works shipyard at Blackwall, London. The photographer is on the viewing platform above the starboard sliding way as the hull enters the water. The drag chain ropes are just about to take the strain. A note on the vertical format negative says the photographer is using Camera B.
