The auxiliary Shoreham lugger Kentish Maid is seen bow-on, laid up ashore at Newhaven. The boat's clinker planking has been reinforced at the starboard bow quarter beneath a net-hauling device mounted on the starboard gunwale. The hull shape is seen to be full. A number of unidentified timbers protrude above the bows. To the starboard of the stem head is a roller likely to have been used for anchor chain.
