A whole plate negative. A port broadside view of the passenger/cargo ship Bombay (1882) at anchor in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. She has an auxiliary barquentine rig with three yards on the foremast and is in her original two funnelled configuration. Her hull paintwork is in very poor condition. Tilbury is in the background. The original negative has peeled off and been discarded. A safety sheet film negative has been prodiced from a 12x10 photographic print made from the original negative in the 1950s.
