Salvaging copper into a small open boat over the partially sunken wreck of the steamship Patria (1894) in The Downs, between Deal and Walmer, Kent.
Salvaging copper into a small open boat over the partially sunken wreck of the steamship Patria (1894) in The Downs, between Deal and Walmer, Kent. Three men in the clinker-built boat, which is over the boat deck of the Patria, are guidling a pig of copper into the boat. A temporary boom is being used in the salvage and three men are using the hoisting hand winch. The Patria was wrecked on 17 November 1899 after being abandoned heavily on fire. A note on the negative says the photographer was using Camera B. Negatives Numbers N18848 to N18867 are of this wreck.
