The general cargo ship Pravda (1928) in the Surrey Docks, London

A port bow view, taken from the quayside, of the general cargo ship Pravda (1928) alongside a berth in the Surrey Docks, London. Six of her derricks are triced up to the masts. There is a large stack of sawn timber on the quayside, partially obscuring the after part of the ship. The ship in the left background is an American-built C1-M-AV1 type cargo vessel of 1944-1945 vintage.
