A starboard side view, taken from well ahead of the beam, of the container ship Seatrain Valley Forge (1978) berthed at Wilmington, Los Angeles. The photographer is looking across the quay showing ten empty road trailers parked on the quayside abreast the ship. A number of the containers stacked on the ship have the Seatrain symbol printed on the side. Dockyard cranes are in the background on the left hand side.
