The general cargo ship Rosita (1957) in the North East Dry Dock, Tilbury, Essex

A starboard quarter view, taken from the top of the dock close to the stern, of the general cargo ship Rosita (1957) dried out in the North East Dry Dock, Tilbury. Two rows of timber shores support her hull and scaffold boards are laid on the lower row. Her stern, including her hull below the waterline, is out of the picture. Pulleys and lines are connected to her bollards and lead down towards her rudder.
