On board the cargo liner Waroonga (1957) while loading for Melbourne alongside a berth in the Royal Albert Dock, London. The photographer is looking aft and to starboard from just ahead of the open number 4 hatch showing a 90 ft long container on the deck to starboard of the after hatches. The container holds a Hawker Siddeley Dynamics Ltd Blue Streak rocket which is to be test fired at the Woomera rocket range in Australia. The strikebound passenger/cargo liner Ruahine (1951) is in the background on the opposite side of the dock. Negatives numbers N85674 to N85684 inclusive were taken on the same occasion.
