A photograph looking west along Blaikie's Quay and taken either on or alongside the sailboat seen in other images.

The image depicts stacked timber alongside the quay with a large steamship, possibly called Dragon, also featuring prominently.

The stacked timber suggests the area shown is that outside the wood related businesses towards the eastern end of the quay.

In the background HMS Clyde, a naval reserve training ship, can be seen in Victoria Dock. This ship was a replacement for a previous training vessel in Aberdeen that was also called HMS Clyde.

The replacement ship, shown here, was a sloop previously called Wild Swan. It was renamed after its predecessor on arrival in Aberdeen in 1904. Following changes to navy reserve training, the later Clyde, that shown here, left Aberdeen Harbour for the final time in 1911.
