Berthed that way round on Edinburgh Castle May? 1971 with anchor broken out. Strong SE'ly when we docked & decision made to berth this way round. Caused havoc with the cargo loading.

Unusuallly berthed...normally would always berth at A berth (the northbound mailship berth, where she is) but bow facing B berth. Why is her anchor down ?
