A starboard bow view of the small tug workboat Edwin D mounted and carried as deck cargo on board the suction hopper dredger Geopotes X (1969). The photographer is standing on the starboard side, looking aft. Geopotes X, according to the photographer, is in dry dock in Amsterdam, Netherlands but his autobiography disputes this, saying the ship was in Rotterdam instead.

This is Slide 21 of a lecture titled "World Wide Ship Delivery" given by Captain Henry P. Bird detailing his service as Chief Officer for the suction hopper dredger Geopotes X (1969), owned by Volker Dredging Co Ltd, from 24 June 1980 to 14 July 1980. The lecture also details his service with the same ship as Second Officer, chartered by Dome Petroleum Company, Canada, from 4 August 1980 to 11 September 1980. The lecture consists of 56 slides.
