A fine view with a nice contrast in war-built style and sizes! In the distance it looks like a British India on Corporation Quay.

That's my photo, taken in June 1964. I put it on Tugtalk back in 2003.
I don't have a note of the BI cargo liner, but in the left background is WEAR HOPPER NO.4, and on Thompson's slip is believed to be BRITISH COMMERCE taking shape.
