A slightly distant starboard bow view of the battleship Irresistible (1898) afloat in Chatham Reach, River Medway, soon after her launch from No. 7 Covered Slip in Chatham Dockyard. An anchor has been deployed from her starboard forward hawse to hold her in position pending the arrival of tugs. Dockyard men in rowing boats are collecting tallow in the foreground and a 2-funnelled paddle tug is in the right background. A note on the negative says the photographer is using Camera A.
