A port bow view, taken from fine off the bow, 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. The yellow painted, 27.4 metre long cylinder 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. The cylinder is being lifted by the ship's 180 ton Stulcken derrick. Transparencies numbers P64590CT to P64603CT were taken on the same occasion.
