On board a Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cargo liner of the Strathmay class (1970) loading containers in the Seaforth Container Terminal at Liverpool. The ship is berthed starboard side to the quay and is one of Strathmay (1970), Strathmeigle (1971) or Strathmore (1971). The photographer is using a fish-eye lens from the starboard edge of the forecastle of the ship looking aft and slightly to port showing a grey 40 feet Strick Line container being lowered onto number two hatch by a Paceco-Vickers Portainer. Three other 40 feet containers are already loaded on the hatch. A vertical format image. Transparencies numbers P64605CT to P64670CT were taken on the same day.
