Looking forward to the superstructure of the fishing stern trawler Salvia (1972) berthed in Cape Town, South Africa. The photographer is standing amidships on the port side of the main deck looking forward and to port. The trawl winches are in the middle ground just aft of the main superstructure. An orange life preserver with Salvia's name and its port of registry is fastened to the upper superstructure gangway in the foreground. 4 tyres, two piles of wood pallets and five trawl otter boards are laid out on the weather deck in front of the trawl winches in the foreground. The superstructure, bridge and wheelhouse are in the middle ground. A partial view of the forward gallows is in the background. This is Slide 12 of a series of slides detailing Captain H. Bird's service as Chief Officer on board the fishing stern motor trawler Salvia (1972) owned by Irving & Johnstone of Cape Town from 11 December 1972 to 8 January 1973. The series consists of 21 slides.
