A port side view of the fore part of the British India Steam Navigation Company cargo liner Barpeta (1960) alongside a wharf at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The photographer is on the quayside abreast ther ship's superstructure looking forward and slightly to starboard. In the foreground is a red and yellow painted, refrigerated road trailer but the name on it is obscured by a fork lift truck and only "Shelton Limited" can be seen. 3 ton track mounted cranes span the railway lines on the quay.
