Unidentified 3 masted ship rigged vessel
A whole plate negative. A fair quality starboard broadside view of an unidentified 3 masted ship rigged vessel at moorings in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. She is rigged with double topsails, single topgallants and a main royal and has painted ports. She is loaded down to her marks and is believed to be one of Aitken & Lilburn's Loch Line fleet. A man is standing on the main topmast crosstree spreader. A brig is passing under sail beyond her and Tilbury Fort is in the background.
