The cargo liners City of Liverpool (1949) and Maidan (1946) in the Royal Albert Dock, London.

A slightly distant port side view, taken from well ahead of the beam, of the cargo liner City of Liverpool (1949) berthed in the Royal Albert Dock, London. She has two rope ladders deployed over the side and lighters are berthed outboard, some laden with wooden packing cases. Astern of her is the cargo liner Maidan (1946), seen from wide off her port bow. Her stern is not in the picture. Lighters fill the foreground.
