A deckhand hosing down the port side of the main deck on board the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cargo liner Melita (1971) while at sea, probably in the Mediterranean. The photographer is looking aft from abreast the forward end of number two hatch coaming showing a man using an high pressure hose to wash down the deck just ahead of the Stulcken mast house. Another man is further aft using a broom to sweep out the scuppers. The pilot's rope ladder is rolled up on deck in the foreground.
