On board the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company general cargo ship Strathduns (1977) alongside the west wharf in the Millwall Inner Dock, London. The photographer is looking forward and to starboard from the port bridge wing showing cargo being worked at numbers 1 and 3 hatches. A pallett of cargo is suspended in mid-air from one of the ship's own derricks between a lighter and number 3 hatch. Various items of cargo, including a Coles mobile crane and a cti container, are lashed to the deck. The bow of the Fred Olsen Lines passenger/cargo vessel Blenheim (1970) is on the right of the picture. Transparencies numbers P63829CT to P63864CT were taken on the same occasion.
