A close detail of her starboard quarter, taken from the top of the dock, of the general cargo ship Rosita (1957) dried out in the North East Dry Dock, Tilbury. Trestles on the floor of the dock and beams suspended from the ship's side support scaffold boards. A number of men are working on the rudder which is connected via a series of pulley blocks to the ship's bollards.
