A view of a deck section (also known as pontoon hatch cover) ready to be lowered into in the hold of the bulk carrier Wilkawa (1964). The photographer is standing on the port side of the upper deck, looking to starboard. The two apprentices Llewelyn and Jerrum are standing on the winch house looking towards the boom which is lifting the deck section. A pontoon rack, full of deck sections is in the middle ground.
