On board the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cargo liner Melita (1971) under way in Grand Harbour, Malta, turning in The Marsa. The photographer is looking forward from the centreline above the bridge showing the Stulcken derrick, the forward deck crane and the forecastle. Berthed alongside the Deep Water Quay are the cargo ships Vidaland (1954) on the right, Taupo (1966) in the centre and Bellatrix (1969). Only the bow of the grey-hulled Bellatrix is in the picture.
