A port side midship detail of the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cargo liner Strathalvie (1965) loading a steel cylinder in a British port.

A port midship detail of the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cargo liner Strathalvie (1965) loading a steel cylinder in a British port. She has a corn coloured hull and her hull is hidden behind the yellow painted, 27.4 metre long cylinder which is marked as Petrolite Job No. 184 and is destined for Damman (sic), presumably a misprint for Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The structure has a gross weight of 71120 Kgs. and has been brought to the dock on two separate six-wheeled units hauled by Wynn's 6x6 heavy haulage tractor unit 198, registered SDW545J, which is out of the picture. Lifting wires are being placed under the cylinder and connected to the wires from the hook of the ship's 180 ton Stulcken derrick. A vertical format image. Transparencies numbers P64590CT to P64603CT were taken on the same occasion.
