A starboard side view, taken from abreast the stern well abaft the beam, of the British India Steam Navigation Company cargo liner Chakdina (1951) under tow at Port Adelaide, South Australia. The photographer is fairly close alongside the ship looking forward and to port. Everything aft of the funnel is out of the picture. The Chakdina is making her number by flag hoist and she is under tow of two tugs. The starboard tug is out of the picture and the port tug is the Yelta (1949), seen from off her starboard quarter.
