A general view looking across the River Orwell from near Pin Mill. In the foreground is the spritsail barge 'Freston Tower' (1889) under main and mizzen sails, just masking an unidientified barge which is at anchor. The Great Eastern Railway ferry 'Sussex' (1895) is passing a gaff-rigged yacht trailing a tender in the distance.
