A 12x10 negative. A slightly distant port broadside view of the passenger/cargo liner Ganges (1881) at anchor in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. She has 2 yards on her foremast and is flying the blue peter. Awnings are rigged aft. A Thames Church Mission steam launch is alongside her accommodation ladder. It is low tide and Tilbury is in the background, with the Tilbury Fort gatehouse on the extreme right..
