A starboard side view, taken from only just abaft the beam, of the cargo liner Waroonga (1957) alongside a berth in the Royal Albert Dock, London. The ship is port side to the berth and her bow is just out of the picture. She is loading for Melbourne and a 90 ft long container on the deck to starboard of the after hatches holds a Hawker Siddeley Dynamics Ltd Blue Streak rocket which is to be test fired at the Woomera rocket range in Australia. A number of lighters are alongside the ship and shed 8 is in the background. Negatives numbers N85674 to N85684 inclusive were taken on the same occasion.
