A slightly distant starboard near broadside view, taken from just abaft the beam, of the tug Sun XII (1925) towing the general cargo ship Cagliari (1942) out of the South Dock Lock into Blackwall Reach, River Thames, bound out from the West India Docks, London. The stern of the Cagliari (1942) is just in the picture on the left. In the background waiting to lock in is the general cargo ship Afoundria (1943). Only her port quarter can be seen.
