A distant starboard bow aerial view, taken from wide off the bow, of the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company ore/bulk/oil carrier Irfon (1971) leaving the port of Vitoria, Brazil, bound out. She is fully laden down to her marks with iron ore and is making smoke. A Petrobras company tanker is alongside the breakwater and beyond her is an unidentified seven hatch, geared bulk carrier alongside the south side of the ore loading finger pier. She is fully laden. The gearless bulk carrier Tweed Bridge (1974) is alongside the north side of the finger pier and she is in ballast, having arrived earlier in the day. The photographer is looking north-north-east. Transparencies numbers P62723CT to P62727CT inclusive were taken on the same day.
