29/01/2019, I have now established, from an older aerial photograph, that this location is the western lock entrance to the Royal Albert and King George V Royal Docks.

ADMINS:
1) If this photo is not to acceptable standards I will delete it.
2) As I was not familiar with all the London docks, I am trying to establish if this is indeed Tilbury, or entering one of the Royal Docks. Confirmation sought please.


1961 or 1962, Tilbury Dock(?), Essex, England.

The Dutch freighter enters the dock guided by the tug 'Sun XV'.
To the right, a berthed P&O passenger cargo vessel can be seen, it is either the 'Cathay' or 'Chitral'.

Amerskerk:
Launched on 23/08/1952 and completed at the shipyard during December 1952, by Howaldtswerke, Germany (876)
8,582 g.t. and 12,410 dwt., as:
'Amerskerk' to 1972 and
'Liberty Manufacturer' until sold for demolition to Taiwan, arriving at Kaohsiung on 19/05/1973.
