Fascinating to see the delicate alignment of blocks under the keel and then the baulks of timber to hold her upright.

According to saveindustrialbrooklyn.org/red_hook.html the dry dock, in Brooklyn, NY, was filled in recently and is the parking lot for the Brooklyn IKEA. See the parking lot at www.google.com/maps/@40.6717748,-74.0131385,406m/data=!3m... History of the shipyard is at www.shipbuildinghistory.com/history/shipyards/5small/inac...

It looks like they are on a British ship, the flag behind the group is not very clear, but quite recognizable...

It's interesting to note that nearly all of the photos of Sir Thomas Lipton available on the internet picture him in nautical garb. That's also the way his own tea company used to portray him in advertisements, and on its packages:

Wystan, thanks, that's very cool to see attached to the Bain photo here. Seen the boxes my whole life, never thought of "Lipton" being a real person before...
Wystan said:
Penny, I suppose it may be a matter of exposure: my wife is British, and she loves her tea. Guess who makes it for her, several times a day . . . . Myself, I never touch the stuff. Wasn't Sir Tom a dashing yachtsman, though? Tall and athletic, with twinkling eyes.
