The image appears to be one of a set of images taken from the deck of HMS Trafalgar and may be one of the earliest photographic images taken at sea.
An album of photographs by Washington Wilson was collated by Prince Albert between 1860-1861 containing similar images.
In the foreground is the Portsmouth chain ferry, one of the vessels in the rear may be HMS Victory.
