On board the cargo liner Waroonga (1957) while loading for Melbourne alongside a berth in the Royal Albert Dock, London. The ship is port side to the berth. The photographer is looking forward and slightly to starboard from the poop showing a 90 ft long container on the deck to starboard of the after hatches. The container holds a Hawker Siddeley Dynamics Ltd Blue Streak rocket which is to be test fired at the Woomera rocket range in Australia. Alongside a berth on the opposite side of the dock, seen from off her port quarter, is the strikebound passenger/cargo liner Rangitane (1949) in Federal Line colours. Negatives numbers N85674 to N85684 inclusive were taken on the same occasion.
