A distant starboard bow view, taken from wide off the bow, of the cargo liner Mary Holt (1959) alongside Berth 10 in the Centre Branch Dock of Tilbury Docks. She is working cargo into lighters alongside and the general cargo ship Dan Fodio (1950) is astern of her. The photographer is on the port side of the forecastle of the cargo liner Ibadan Palm (1959), looking aft and to port and is using a telephoto lens. In the foreground two members of the London Branch of the World Ship Society are talking with one of the Ibadan Palm's officers. The dock is cluttered with lighters.
