A port bow view of a 30 ton aluminium alloy landing craft on trials in Karachi, Pakistan

A photographic print of a port bow view of a 30 ton aluminium alloy landing craft on trials in Karachi, Pakistan. The craft is at moorings with its bow ramp lowered onto the beach. Eight men, mostly dressed in suits with one dressed in naval uniform are standing in front of the wheelhouse and looking at the photographer. A ninth Pakistani man is standing further to the left along the landing craft.

The number '019' is painted near the bow ramp. An unidentified ship is berthed in the background on the left. Dockyard cranes and the harbour front are in the background on the left. The number '5' has been written in the top left corner of the print.

A caption below the photograph reads "The first of two 30 ton aluminium alloy landing craft built by Fairmile for the Royal Pakistani Navy on trial at Karachi with a 3 ton load. Inter-Services Public Relations Department No. 6 January 1953". The photographic print is mounted on a card leaf.
