A half plate negative. A port very near broadside view, taken from only just ahead of the beam, of the passenger/cargo liner Garonne (1871) at moorings in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. She is as built with a barque rig, tall funnel and no deckhouse abreast the foremast. She is flying the Orient Steam Navigation Co Ltd houseflag that was in use 1878-1880. This was a combination of the houseflags of Anderson, Anderson & Co and Frederick Green & Co. Tilbury is in the background.
