Title: A Glance into Maritime History: The Buoy Store at Trinity Wharf, Blackwall, 1868 This evocative photograph, captured in January 1868, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich maritime history of Blackwall's Trinity Wharf. The image, showcasing The Buoy Store, is a testament to the time when wooden buoys were an integral part of the thriving maritime industry.

The store's name, "Buoy," is clearly visible, written in bold, black letters, adding to the image's historical charm. The photograph reveals a scene of activity, with a multitude of wooden buoys neatly stacked and arranged in the store.
