A very close view of the bow of the British India Steam Navigation Company cargo liner Zaida (1972) almost ready for launching from the Swan Hunter Shipbuilders Readhead shipyard at South Shields. A few of the scaffolding supports are still in position alongside the hull and the christening bottle and its bracket have not yet been fitted to the bow of the vessel. The photographer is standing just ahead of the port side of the bulbous bow looking up. Transparencies P63941CT to P63943CT were taken on the same occasion.
