The cargo ship looks like it is Italian and the Himalaya has what looks like the Italian flag on her foremast, so I think that the harbour is somewere in Italy.

?olanda--the first letter may or may not be an "I" (Y?).

I couldnt make out either, but from the look of the background Italy could be very possible I think.

For sure it's in Italy,I'm still investigating were.
With the mountains at the back could be somewhere in the tirrenian sea.In Liguria?It doesn't remind me of Genoa docks dow.
I suppose it's The Jolanda registered in Palermo.
She should be now on coral bottom,all in pieces,on Jolanda reef at Ras Mohammed (Red Sea).
Sank with it's cargo of Loos (yes readed right) and a BMW 320.
Sank 1980/81.

Given the direction of sight from the Stevedore. looking over his shoulder at the ladies rather than the ship, Italy does seem certain. (Jester)

Don't know if that is the same Yolanda as is sunk near Sharm. Dived on ( edited...didn't dive on 'her'...dived on the site...there is no sign of a ship...just cargo and hatch covers...) last year and as well as the bogs and the car there is also a lot of drill string lying around and a couple of Macgregor hatches......
