Two new crew members joining the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cargo liner Strathavoch (1965) in the South West India Dock, London. She is berthed alongside Shed N, port side to the quay, and the ship's second officer is standing at the head of the accommodation ladder to welcome the new men. They are climbing up the ladder and both are carrying luggage with British Caledonian Marine service labels on them. The photographer is below them and is looking forward along the port side of the ship. Transparencies numbers P64575CT to P64577CT were taken on the same occasion.
