A good view of Kingsclere (c.1901) in the foreground, but no sign of the Helena May (1916), so this photo taken c.1910.

Interesting photo. Holt's Wharf warehouses were completed about 1907/08. The KCR terminus at TST is yet to take shape. The naval dry-dock looks new and completed but the dockyard cranes are not to be seen. The dockyard cranes were erected in 1907. HK Weekly Press 29 April 1907 refers.
