A close view of the port bow of the steam tanker Drupa (1966) undergoing conversion work at Falmouth, Cornwall. The photographer is on the pier looking forward at the bow showing a section of double connecting pipe hoisted between the tanker's bow and the stern of a Falmouth registered tug. The tanker's port anchor is hanging down from the hawse and her bulwark is being painted. The Drupa is being converted to carry oil from the Brent Field in the North Sea to the U.K. land terminal.
