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. 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 was 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. The cylinder has been lowered onto the port side of the deck amidships by the ship's 180 ton Stulcken derrick and the lifting wires are slack. The photographer is on the quayside close alongside the bow looking aft showing one of the six-wheeled units in the foreground. The ship's bow is out of the picture. Transparencies numbers P64590CT to P64603CT were taken on the same occasion.
