King George Dock

1st September 2007

Here is yet another early morning photo shoot.

This time it is for the Russian geared-bulker MIKHAIL STREKALOVSKY. The weather this day was awesome with nary a cloud in cobalt blue skies over the Humber.

The MS came to King George Dock to offload her cargo of Coal for use in our local powerstations. She skillfully was guided into the dock with the aid of the the HT SWORD and the HT SCIMITAR.
