Description
Photograph of a large ship in what appears to be a dry dock, [s.d.]. The ship can be seen from the front and extends into the background at right. What appear to be at least three blocks attached to one another can be seen underneath the bottom of the ship at evenly spaced intervals. An additional several dozen of these blocks can be seen in front of the ship towards the foreground. At least six men can be seen from behind standing in a group in front of the ship and amongst the blocks. Most of the men are wearing hats, and a second group of men can be seen at left. Walls made out of what appear to be horizontal wooden planks can be seen on either side of the ship, while lines extend from the ship to these walls. A ramp is visible at right connecting the ship to the top of the wall. "Circinus" can be seen written on the right side of the ship.
