Looking down into the hold on board the motor coasting vessel Sea Avon (1977) while berthed at a quayside in Busan (previously known as Pusan), South Korea. The photographer is standing on the starboard side of the vessel looking forward, slightly to port and down into the hold from the forward end of the poop. The hold's sliding hatches are open and five Korean dock workers are at work in the hold. A red and black striped lighthouse is on an island in the background.
