A slightly distant port side view, taken from well ahead of the beam, of the cargo liner Melbourne Star (1948) berthed in the Royal Albert Dock, London. She is very lightly laden. On the right is the bow of the cargo liner Canberra Star (1956). She is also very lightly laden and her hull is in need of some paint.
