The cargo liner Sobo (1937) in Tilbury Docks, Essex

A slightly distant port bow view, taken from wide off the bow, of the cargo liner Sobo (1937) berthed in Tilbury Docks taking on board some heavy deck cargo. A motor van is alongside her forward hatches and there are two railway ore trucks on deck abreast her after hatches. Another railway ore truck is being hoisted from a lighter alongside her forward well deck by her own heavy lift derrick.
