A port quarter view, taken across the quayside, of the passenger/cargo liner Celtic (1901) alongside Prince's Landing Stage, Liverpool. She is embarking passengers and has the Blue Peter flying from the foremast. Her stern and the top of her mizzen mast are out of the picture. The photographer is looking along the landing stage from close to the ship's aft mooring lines. A sign on the face of the viewing platform reads "Hotel Cecil London. Charing Cross Station".
