A slightly distant port side view, taken from ahead of the beam, of the general cargo ship Caxton (1958) under tow in Greenwich Reach, River Thames, passing Greenwich, bound down. She is lightly laden. The tugs, both seen from off their port side just ahead of the beam, are the Sun IV (1915) nearest with the Sunrise (1928) beyond. The Cutty Sark (1869) is in her dry dock in the background.
