The photographer is on the quayside looking at the floating crane Simson III (1925) with mill No. 1 suspended in slings being alongside towed across the harbour by the twin screw motor tug St. Woolos (1960), which is seen from off her starboard beam. The stern of the Piako (1962) is on the right of the picture, seen from fine off her starboard quarter. Two of these cement mills were trans-shipped for delivery to Cockburn Cement Ltd, Fremantle, Western Australia, and the ship sailed on 9th February.
