A tug beached for maintenance on a wide sandy shore
A very distant starboard near broadside view, taken from just ahead of the beam, of a steam tug beached on a wide expanse of sand at low water for hull cleaning. The tug is single screw, single masted and has a light colour disc on a black funnel. The bow of another tug can be seen on the extreme left of the picture. There are a few people and a couple of bathing huts on the sands. At the top of the beach is a small gully spanned by an iron bridge and the resort's houses are up on a low bank.
