Albert Weller slide. Middlesbrough Dock, circa September 1972:

This would coincide with my sighting of the ANTRIM in that same berth on 31 August 1972:

On that date, however, the vessel alongside was the JUMNA (which Albert also recorded around the same time and will feature later in this series).
