Looking down into the hold on board the motor coasting vessel Sea Avon (1977) while berthed at a quayside in Busan (previously known as Pusan), South Korea. The photographer is standing on the starboard side of the vessel looking forward, slightly to port and down into the hold from the forward end of the poop. The hold's sliding hatches are open and five Korean dock workers are at work in the hold. Two more dock workers are near the open hatch on the starboard side with one seated just aft of the forecastle, holding the slings from a mobile crane. A red and black striped lighthouse is on an island in the background. This is Slide 2 of a lecture titled "World Wide Ship Delivery" given by Captain Henry P. Bird detailing his service as Chief Officer on board the motor coaster Sea Avon (1977) owned by Freight Express Seacon Ltd of London from 11 July 1977 to 9 September 1977. The lecture consists of 22 slides.
