The cargo liner Port Pirie (1947) unloading frozen lamb in the King George V Dock, London
A badly obscured port bow view, taken from across a quay wide off her bow, of the cargo liner Port Pirie (1947) discharging a cargo of frozen lamb at a berth in the King George V Dock, London. The ship is hidden behind a row of dockside cranes and her bow is completely out of the piucture. Gangs of stevedores are transferring the lamb carcasses from the quayside into lighters.
