A close view of the spuds on board the suction dredger Marco Polo (1979) while she is under way approaching a gap in the Musandam Peninsula. The photographer is standing on the port side of the dredger looking forward and to starboard showing two spuds, a pile of wood planks and canvas covered piles. Ahead of the ship is the rocky coastline of the Musandam Peninsula and a gap, referred to in the photographer's notes as Fakk Al Asad, or the Gut, is in the background.

Bird detailing his service as Navigator on board the suction dredger Marco Polo (1979) owned by Jan De Nul from 11 February 1981 to 3 March 1981. The lecture consists of 23 slides.
