The cargo liner Ionic (1959) and tug Plateau 1952) in King George V Dock, London

A starboard quarter view, taken from wide off the stern, of the cargo liner Ionic (1959) turning in the King George V Dock, London, bound in. She is being assisted by the tug Plateau (1952) which is seen from just ahead of her starboard beam. The bow of the Plateau (1952) is just out of the picture. A workboat with two men in it is motoring across the entrance to the King George V Dock Lock in the foreground
