On board the cargo liner Nuddea (1954) loading lorries for Zambia in the Royal Albert Dock, London, using the floating crane London Leviathan (1965). The photographer is looking aft from the port side of the forecastle showing a 3-axle Leyland lorry being swung aboard the ship to be stowed on deck abreast number 2 hatch. The Nuddea is berthed starboard side to the wharf and the London Leviathan, seen from ahead, is outboard of her. The forepart of the crane pontoon is out of the picture. Negatives numbers N85685 to N85699 inclusive were taken on the same occasion.
