A distant port side view, taken from well ahead of the beam, of the lug rigged yacht Sandpiper (1899) launching stern first from the beach at Walmer, Kent. Edgar Tarry Adams is at the helm and an unidentified crewman is at the bow. The sea is quite calm and the boat has created a wash. A spritsail barge is at anchor in the background. A note on the negative says the photographer is using Camera A.
