Bornu (1899)

A 12x10 negative. A port very near broadside view, taken from only just ahead of the beam, of the passenger/cargo liner Bornu (1899) at anchor in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. She is loaded down to her marks, is flying a pilot flag and has a Ring screw tug alongside. Tilbury is in the background. Negative number G1002 is very similar.
