The general cargo coaster Estebrügge (1958) and the motor barge Arctic (1897) in the Greenland Dock, Surrey Docks, London

A bow view, taken from dead ahead, of the general cargo coaster Estebrügge (1958) alongside 11 Berth (9 Shed) in Greenland Dock, Surrey Docks, London. She is discharging deals into the motor barge Arctic (1897) which is berthed outboard and is also seen from dead ahead. The barge's boat is slung from her derrick and swung outboard. The top of the coaster's foremast is out of the picture and a crewman is standing on the fluke of her port anchor chipping and scraping the paint on her hull. The lighter Molly is in the foreground partly loaded with timber.
