A close view of the forecastle and bowsprit of the ketch barge Martinet (1912) alongside the pier at Margate, Kent. It is low tide and the ship is almost dried out. The photographer is standing on the pier looking down, forward and to starboard showing the windlass and anchor handling gear. A large sign on the pier is advertising Jessie Wildon's Band performing on Sundays at 11, 3.30 and 8. Motor vehicles are on the pier and a number of pleasure craft are dried out on the sand.
