Orsova (1909)

A 12x10 negative. A starboard broadside view of the passenger/cargo liner Orsova (1909) under tow in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. She is flying a pilot flag and is bound out from Tilbury for Australia. The tugs at her bow are out of the picture but the tug Game Cock (1883), seen from just ahead of her starboard beam, is alongside the liner's quarter. Tilbury Dock is in the left background.
