A scene captured in May 1972, typical of the times, with plenty of interest to look at.
The Shell tanker has company alongside, maybe a P & O boat, SALSETTE for example.
Across the river in dry dock at Smiths is a representative of the Furness Line, perhaps TUDOR PRINCE.
The small craft nestling up to the trio of tugs looks interesting, suggestions on a postcard please!
Enjoy the view.
