Take it this was the 1966 seamans strike? Wall to wall ships on Liverpool. I was a cadet/watchman on Zealandic at the time.

hello waiwera, thanks comment, the book does not actually say when it was taken
but i think you could be correct and be at the time of the seamans strike.
yes remember the Shaw Saville ships used to dock around gladstone dock area, I
visited a friend on the Coptic in1963. cheers, regards. ftf
