Description:

Late 1966, unknown location in the Great Lakes, either U.S.A. or Canada.

The photo seems to have been taken from the raised docking bridge, abaft of hatch number 5, looking for'ard.
At the lower centre of the image, one or more, crewmen are taking a breather.

The ship appears to be arriving or sailing from a port, there is a stone breakwater over to the port side.
All derricks are 'topped' (raised) indicating that another port will soon be reached. Conventional cargo ships do not, generally, sail deep sea with the derricks topped.

Images are with the full permission of a retired mariner who wishes to remain anonymous.

Launched on 01/06/1963 and completed on 04/11/1963.
Hull built by Scheepswerf Bijker NV, Gorinchem, Netherlands (169) and completed by Scheepswerf De Schelde, Flushing, Netherlands (317)
