Very interesting ! As the derricks clearly don't reach to the end of the pier by the fo'c'sle, unless there's something we can't see alongside to port, the cow has come from that dinghy ! If I was in a dinghy with a cow, i don't think I'd be wearing a white shirt !

Must have been the deck boy or cadet who looked after the livestock onboard? Great photo.
