Looking downstream in St. Clement Reach, River Thames, at Greenhithe, Kent. The photographer is on board the destitute boys training ship Arethusa (1849). He is standing on the port side of the bow near the anchor cathead and the ship is dressed overall. In the centre of the picture, and seen from fine off her port bow, is a brigantine drying her top and topgallant sails. Five spritsail barges are in the picture. A note on the negative reads: "Training brigantine "Chichester" and says the photographer is using Camera B. No vessel named Chichester that fits this description has been found in the Mercantile Navy List or in Lloyd's Register. The only reference to this vessel that the cataloguer has found is an entry on page 63 of the book "Nautical Training Ships" by Phil Carradice, published in 2009 (ISBN 978 1 84868 696 0). This reads "In 1880....a small 120-ton tender was bought by the society. Christened Chichester, in honour of the original ship, she was used solely for sea training, up to thirty boys at a time being taken down the Thames estuary and out into the North Sea."
