A slightly distant port bow view of the single masted, lug-rigged dinghy Sandpiper (1899) about to be launched from the beach at Walmer, Kent. Members of the Adams family are on board the boat and the boat is surrounded by children and other onlookers. In the foreground, and seen from off her port bow, is the Adams family lug-rigged dinghy Isabel Adams (Fl. 1890). A note of the negative says the photographer is using Camera B.
