Crewmen reeving new wires through a suction head lifting block on board the suction hopper dredger Geopotes X (1969) at sea. The photographer is standing in front of the superstructure, looking forward and to port. One crewman is on the suction head next to the lifting block which is being raised by the crane. A second crewman is standing on the block itself, feeding the wires through. A partial view of the goalpost foremast is in the background.
