View from the Docking Bridge on the 'Aquitania' (1914)
The passenger liner 'Aquitania' (1914) in the Gladstone Graving Dock, Liverpool, prior to her maiden voyage across the Atlantic, a view looking forward from the starboard side of the Docking Bridge.
A pair of tubular lifeboat davits of the type supplied by Stewarts and Lloyds Ltd is visible in the foreground.
The spectators on the dockside are an indication of the large public interest generated by the debut appearance of the 'Aquitania'. Many would have reached the dock using the Liverpool Overhead Railway which can be seen in the distance.
