A rainy-day photograph showing the congested dock with coal tips numbers 1 to 5 and the hydraulic accumulator enclosed in wooden structure with weathervane atop. A beautiful vessel with a white hull lies high in the water and awaits loading with coal ; her name? : 'Antonia'. Through the forest of masts the pier enclosing the Penarth slipway is clearly seen jutting out into the mud of the Ely-ouse! [599] [archive ref : DCOM-30-6-3] [20170907]
