A port bow view, taken from fine off the bow, of the lighthouse and buoy tender Relume (1979) in a dry dock at the Ailsa Shipyard in Troon, Scotland. The photographer is standing on the quayside looking down into the dry dock. Her anchors and chains have been laid out on the floor of the dock. Most of the ships upperworks and masts are out of the picture. Two men wearing white hard hats are standing on the floor of the dry dock looking up at the bow of the Relume. A wooden gangway extends from the port side of Relume to the dockside. This is Slide 3 of a lecture titled "World Wide Ship Delivery" given by Captain Henry P. Bird detailing his service as Chief Officer for the delivery of the lighthouse and buoy tender Relume (1979) owned by Middle East Navigation Aids Service from 3 May 1979 to 18 June 1979 and then Chief Officer for the delivery of the lighthouse and buoy tender Relume I (1952) owned by the same company to the ship breakers yard from 18 June 1979 to 30 June 1979.
