C01621 Accession Number: C01621

Description

A view of the beach north of Anzac Cove. In the foreground some men are standing on Williams' Pier at North Beach, and a crowd of others is nearby. Between the pier and a wharf is a K lighter, used to transport stores but only suitable for still water; its stern faces the camera. There are some tents and many dugouts on the slopes rising behind the beach. Dominating the scene at left is the rock formation the Anzac's named The Sphinx.
