On the left of the photograph would be the deep water berth. The coal staiths which can be seen in the background are those betwen Victoria Dock and the Old Harbour. Right in the centre of the image are the tugs Stranton and Hart and behind them is the fish quay. The building on the right is the Customs Watch House and the swing bridge would be on the right. The shadow of the mesh on the bridge is actually visible.
The ship on the right is an ore carrier.
In the background, St Hilda's Church, the Borough Hall and the tower of St Mary's can be seen.
