Point Law
Taken at the edge of Point Law, this image features the junction of Albert Quay and Point Law.

A large expanse of quayside can be seen, along with the ferry terminal in the centre of the image. Two men walk north-west, next to the terminal.

Beyond this central subject, one can see a floating dock with the city's name in bold letter on the side.

The City of Aberdeen accepted their first plan for a floating dock on 12th July 1909, according to the Aberdeen Daily Journal of the following day. It would be docked just off Pocra Quay.

It can therefore be inferred that the image was captured no earlier than 1910; the floating dock in the background is most likely the very first one built for Aberdeen City Harbour.
