Five crewmen and stevedores on a break standing and sitting above an open hatch in the hold of the refrigerated cargo ship Maranga (1972) alongside a quay at Brownsville, Texas. The photographer is standing in the hold looking down on the crewmen. Two are sitting in the tween deck on the opposite side from where the photographer is standing. The outline of a third man raising his hands is standing behind the two seated men. The legs and lower body of a fourth man sitting down are visible on the right hand side. The head and yellow hard hat of a fifth man is in the foreground in the bottom right hand corner. The open hatch in front of the seated men is partially filled with boxes of oranges and a wooden pallet. This is Slide 19 of a lecture given by Captain Henry P. Bird detailing his service as Second Officer and later temporary Chief Officer on board the refrigerated cargo ship Maranga (1972) owned by Island Fruit Reefers Ltd and on charter to Salenrederierna from 28 September 1974 to 15 November 1974. The lecture consists of 23 slides.
