Description

Scene of Blackwall shipyard, in London. The edge of a bank and a bridge stretching over to the opposite bank occupy the foreground, and the far bank, in the background, is populated by builidngs, figures, and moored ships. The closest ship to the viewer, seen in three-quarters stern view, is the "Trafalgar", with her name printed on her stern. At far left in the foreground, three men converse on the bank, two seated and one standing; at right, on the brige, two men pull in a line that stretches out of the frame, perhaps connecting to a boat on the water. Title and production information printed along the railing and side of the bridge.
