Hello Denis,

I suspect the crane is the BRISTOL GIANT http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1545036

Thanks for raising that question, Neil

Wondering, is that a floating crane or a shore crane near the building there?

Addendum :
The lpg (?) tanker FERNVALLEY (IMO 6916158) is in the left background, then the AVONGARTH (IMO 5031676 - blt Northwich), hopper dredger n/a, SAGACITY, and an unidentified Russian. The Mednogorsk sailed fm Avonmouth the following day but she does not match the photos of the 1962-built ship of that name to be found in the internet. Info c/o Lloyds List 24/6/76).

Thanks for posting this picture. One of a fleet of Rowbotham tankers that serviced ports in the UK from refineries on Milford Haven for many years in the 70s. Marlon
