View from starboard of the iron-hulled gunship Delta (1876) (Chinese name Tche-tien or Ts'eTien) under way against a pale sky, smoke issuing from her single funnel. Rigged as a topsail schooner she has one gaff sail set aft with the two jibs and other sails loosely furled. Crew can be seen on deck.
