This view is of the ship 'København' in dry dock at Henry Robb's shipbuilding yard. It was built by Ramage and Ferguson for the Danish East Asiatic Company. Work started on it in 1913 but was not completed until 1921, when it was the largest sailing ship in the world. It was used as a naval training vessel until it disappeared in 1928 between Buenos Aires and Melbourne.
