Australasian (1884)

A 12x10 negative. A distant port side view, taken from ahead of the beam, of the passenger/cargo liner Australasian (1884) at anchor in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. She is flying a pilot flag and is preparing for an imminent departure. An unidentified screw tug has a line connected to her bow ready to lead her once her anchor has been weighed. Very slightly unsharp.
