Légende

Steam-tug at Plymouth taking troops to the Himalaya for the Gold Coast, 1873. 'The departure of troops for [the Third Anglo-Ashanti War] have excited more than usual interest...The steam troopships Himalaya, Captain W. B. Grant, and Tamar, Captain W. H. Grubbe, have been lying in Plymouth Sound to receive the troops sent down by railway from different stations in England, and those from Plymouth Citadel. Our Illustration shows the steam-tug Carron acting as a tender to place the troops on board the Himalaya. The troop-ships left Plymouth last week to proceed on their voyage to West Africa, but the Himalaya called at Queenstown for a battalion of the Rifle Brigade and one of the 23rd Regiment'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
