A starboard bow view, taken from wide off the bow, of the Ben Line cargo liner Benmacdhui (1948) alongside a finger pier in Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong. She is badly obscured by junks in the foreground. The nearest junk has a cargo of cases of Nestle's Eagle Brand condensed milk and this is being transferred to a railway trolley. Each case is printed with the instruction "Stow away from boilers, engine-room bulkheads and hot pipes".
