On board the British India Steam Navigation Company cargo liner Amra (1969) loading deck cargo in London Docks prior to her maiden voyage. The photographer is on the port side of the main deck looking forward and to starboard showing the 300 ton Stulcken derrick being used to position the swim-headed lighter Antrim onto hatch three immediately ahead of the superstructure. The Amra arrived in London 22 November 1969 and sailed in early December for Karachi via Cape Town. An Ellerman Lines passenger/cargo liner of the City of Port Elizabeth class is in the background.
