The Dover galley Princess, beached on shingle facing seawards in Dover, is seen from behind the stern in this elevated view showing its four thwarts, the foremost and aft-most having thole pins in place, and the foremost having a post projecting some 2ft from it like a cut-down mast, probably used in lieu of a winch when hauling nets. The perspective confirms the galley's relatively narrow beam and the deep deadrise below a wineglass transom. In the distance in front of what may be the Eastern arm of Dover's outer harbour is a tug, and behind it, an outward-bound, twin-funnelled ferry. The Chatham Directory of Inshore Craft records that the Princess was 29ft 1" in length, with a beam of 5ft 4" and a depth of 2ft.
