I would suggest it's Elisabeth Maersk. There have been at least 2 vessels of that name so it runs in the company and could have been in use at that time. |

This photograph is actually of the Bute East Dock (not West Dock) The sweeping railway line is of the Bute Viaduct (TVR) and the "small" building at the head of the dock (originally a bonded warehouse I believe) still exists as offices/flats. The Junction canal connection can just be seen to the top left of the East Dock joining it to the West Dock. the West Dock was disused and filled in during the 1960s. The area to the north of Tyndall Street ( the white line at the top of the photo) is/was an area to be called Newtown, yet to be developed in this photo. Now again in 2013 it is being flattened and re-developed. Butetown, not actually shown is to the west and south of this photo. |
