The cargo liner Townsville Star (1957) in the west dry dock, Royal Albert Dock, London

A port bow view, taken from fine off the bow, of the cargo liner Townsville Star (1957) in the west dry dock, Royal Albert Dock, London. A Federal liner is in the background. The photographer's records state the Townsville Star is in the east dry dock but this cannot be correct as the east dry dock is only 500' x 62' and the ship is 539' overall x 70'3" beam.
