A distant bow view, taken from fine off the starboard bow, of the refrigerated cargo ship Potomac (1980) manoeuvring away from Berth 2 at Sheerness with the assistance of two tugs. She is in ballast and her bulbous bow is clear of the water. The motor tug Knighton (1968), seen from off her starboard beam, is pushing against the ship's stern. The fire-fighting tug Keverne (1960), seen from just abaft her port broadside, is connected to the ship and is pulling her bow round. The stern of the Keverne is being repainted. A cargo ship is alongside berth 1 in the left background.
