A funeral garland being fitted to the port side of the bow of the lighthouse and buoy tender Relume I (1952) alongside a quay at Bahrain. The photographer is standing on the quayside close to the port side of the bow. A group of crewman are looking on whilst the garland is being fitted by two senior officers. Their shoulder stripes indicate they are probably captains. A partial view of the port side anchor is at the bottom of the image. This image was taken just before the vessel motored to the breakers yard. This is Slide 27 of a lecture titled "World Wide Ship Delivery" given by Captain Henry P. Bird detailing his service as Chief Officer for the delivery of the lighthouse and buoy tender Relume (1979) owned by Middle East Navigation Aids Service from 3 May 1979 to 18 June 1979 and then Chief Officer for the delivery of the lighthouse and buoy tender Relume I (1952) owned by the same company to the ship breakers yard from 18 June 1979 to 30 June 1979. The lecture consists of 30 slides.
