On board the steam tanker Drupa (1966) during conversion work at Falmouth, Cornwall. The photographer is looking forward on the foredeck from just ahead of the foremast showing the two lines of new pipework running along the port side of the deck and terminating in a large collar fitting just to port of the jackstaff. A number of workmen are on the forecastle and an electric winch is in the foreground. The Drupa is being converted to carry oil from the Brent Field in the North Sea to the U.K. land terminal.
