A very close view of the bulbous bow of the container ship ACT 2 (1969) being guided into position in the New Dry Dock at Tilbury. The ship is in ballast and her hull paintwork is in a poor condition. The photographer is on the leading-in girder very fine off the bow of the ship showing a man using hand signals to direct the docking operation. The harbour tug Plankton (1965) is at the starboard side of the ship. Transparencies numbers P63238CT to P63271CT inclusive were taken on the same day.
