A starboard side view, looking aft and to port from the quayside close to the bow, of the Royal Navy torpedo ram Polyphemus (1881) berthed alongside the New Mole, Gibraltar. Her guns have canvas covers and a man with a bucket is sitting on her starboard yard. Her bow and the top of her mast are out of the picture. Members of the crew are on the mole with wicker baskets during coaling. Vertical format.
