This is not the famous King George V Graving Dock completed in 1934, but a much older, smaller dry dock on the Itchen River side of the eastern docks in Southampton, next to the the entrance to the marina, now known as 'Ocean Village'. The dry dock has long since been filled in.
We thought to begin with there were no figures in this painting, but when you look closely you can see there are some people busy in the background .
