Castle Wharf
Signed 'WLW' (lower left)
Pencil
8¼ x 7½in. (21 x 19cm)
It is tempting to think this might be Baltic Wharf, long synonymous with the famous firm of Castles Shipbreaking. Located adjacent to Vauxhall Bridge, by the late 19th century it was mostly just a timber yard as the firm's larger yards were needed for modern ships. It was bombed in 1941 when the famous figurehead-adorned entrance and office was lost.

Ltd and fitted as a luxury steam yacht named Argonaut. On the 29th September 1908 she was struck around 8.30am by the cargo steamer Kingswell whilst steaming off Dungeness, Kent. Kingswell promptly beached herself, but Argonaut was less lucky. Many passengers were at breakfast and, with the ship clearly mortally wounded, a text book evacuation was performed with passengers calmly getting into lifeboats with the crew, stewards and Captain the last to leave as water began washing under the bridge on the upper deck. As the crew were now unemployed, a passenger fund was raised and the Co-operative Cruising Company made them a gift of £1 each. The Kingswell foundered fourteen months later off Cape Matapan
