A posed photograph of the ship's captain standing by the engine control console in the wheelhouse on board the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cargo liner Strathardle (1967) while alongside the fitting out berth of Mitsui Zosen at Tamano, Japan. The photographer is on the port side looking to starboard and the ship's captain is looking at him while having his hands on one of the controls. The time on the bridge clock is 9.27. The Strathardle ran trials on 7 January and was handed over to P & O on 20 January before sailing on her maiden voyage to London via Kobe, Yokohama and Hong Kong.
