Queens stairs

Mid tide, looking downstream from Chatham Dockyard. The Queens Stairs are where Admiral Nelson joined his ship, about 200 metres downstream id number 2 drydock where HMS Victory was built, and floated out. She was never launched, as the Medway is too narrow here for large vessels to be launched, else they end on the mud opposite at Whitewall Creek

 

This is looking east, but as I have no record of time or date, it could have been early in the day as this was copied from a slide
