A port bow view, taken from the bottom of the dock 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 floor of the dry dock looking up and aft showing her anchors and chains laid out on the floor of the dock. Most of the ships upperworks and masts are out of the picture. A wooden gangway extends from the port side of Relume to the quayside.
