A close view of the mainmast on the hulk of the steamship Great Britain (1843) beached in Sparrow Cove, Falkland Islands. The photographer is in a boat looking up and aft at the mast from off the port side. The top and the forged iron mast cap are still in place and the lower yard is set fore and aft. The chain plates for the foremast are fitted outboard of the bulwark. The top of the mizzenmast is in the background.
