Title: "Wreck of the ketch 'Mirror': The Sea Scouts Yacht sunk by the steamer 'Hogarth' off Gravesend, four lives being lost. The 'Mirror' before the disaster". Shots of the white-hulled Mirror at anchor, first with her sails furled, then at half mast, and finally fully raised. Smaller rowing boats nudge around her.
