A distant starboard bow view, taken from wide off the bow, of the salvage vessel Triton (1864) just under way in The Downs.
A distant starboard bow view, taken from wide off the bow, of the salvage vessel Triton (1864) just under way in The Downs. Her port anchor is suspended over the bow and she has three boats on painters astern. She is returning from the wreck of the steamer Patria (1894). The Patria was wrecked in The Downs on 17 November 1899 and she was demolished by explosives in 1900 and 1901. On the left of the picture, and seen from fine off her starboard bow, is the Ramsgate-registered fishing ketch Invicta (1894). A note on the negative says the photographer is using Camera B. Negative number N19865 was taken on the same occasion.
