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. In addition to the starboard anchor, another has just been deployed from her port hawse to help hold her in position pending the arrival of tugs. Dockyard men in rowing boats are collecting tallow in the foreground. A note on the negative says the photographer is using Camera A.
