A whole plate negative. A starboard near broadside view, taken from just ahead of the beam, of the passenger/cargo liner Lusitania (1871) at moorings in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. She is as built with a barque rig and has an awning rigged aft. She is flying the houseflag used by the Orient Steam Navigation Co in the period 1878-1880. It is a combination of the houseflags of Anderson, Anderson & Co and Frederick Green & Co. A lighter is alongside aft. Tilbury is in the background.
