Photograph of the river side at Greenwich with the River Thames on the right. A steam boat departs, carrying passengers. People either walk or sit on the side of the river, including two people in the foreground holding parasols. In the background can be seen a large sailing ship and numerous other ship masts in the distance. This photograph was reviewed in the Photographic News in March 1863.

This photograph is a later carbon copy which is a process that is less susceptible to light damage, unlike the original albumen photograph that was prone to fading over time.
