TREFUSIS

Postby Dennis Maccoy » Thu Sep 26, 2013 7:37 pm

Probably my oldest reproducible ship photograph,taken with my Dad's ancient 120 bellows Agfa - Hain's Trefusis about to be manoeuvred into "the Gut" at Readheads following her launch on 11 September 1961. The curved jetty on the left has long gone and the whole area will, presumably, soon disappear under the eastward extension of Riverside Quay.
