A distant port quarter view of the cargo liner Clan Sutherland (1951) manoeuvring in Tilbury Main Dock, bound in with tug assistance. The tug connected to her stern is the Plangent (1951), seen from off her port bow, and the bow tug is the Burma (1967), seen from off her port side abaft the beam. On the right is the cargo ship Indian Renown (1955), seen from almost dead astern. On the right is the bow of the Swedish ferry Saga (1966) and berthed ahead of her is the cargo liner City of Perth (1949) which is almost completely hidden by the Clan Sutherland (1951).
