Stevedores stowing cardboard boxes in the hold of an unidentified Peninsular & Oriental Group cargo liner. A gang of six men are moving the boxes from a central pile into the tween deck spaces. The lower part of the hull is already fully loaded. Only half of the steel sliding and folding hatch cover is open. The information given with this image is that the men are stowing fish. The photographer is looking down into the hold from above the closed hatch cover.
