Five sailors at work on the deck of a merchant vessel. One is attending to chains, the others are involved in coiling a rope. Land and white clouds are visible behind them.

A young woman in the dress of a domestic servant sitting on the ground washing dishes in a bucket of water. Behind her is the sea.
Four seamen, one only partially visible, coiling a rope. Their headgear is suggestive of a tropical climate. Probably taken aboard the 'Eros' on which Joy Thomas sailed to Jamaica in 1937.

A three-quarter portrait of a a stubbly William Morgan, photographed from a low viewpoint and in strong sunlight.
[Portrait of an unknown woman]
A three-quarter portrait of a young woman with dark hair, looking pensively towards the left.
View from a high vantage point (probably the Liver Building) showing the entrance to Prince's Dock South-West, Liverpool. Also visible are the offices of the Belfast Steamship Company, and two vessels berthed on the quayside one identified as being 'Drottningholm' belonging to the Swedish American Line. The vessel is marked with distinctive stipes on her hull and the wording "Freight Protected Drottingholm Sverige" suggesting that this was taken during or shortly after WW2 when the vessel was chartered as an exchange ship. Bomb damage to a nearby warehouse also suggests that this photo was taken during or after the war years. The vessel moored behind her is Mauretania II painted in battleship grey and used as a troopship during WW2. Censorship regulations would probably not permitted such an image WW2 was ongoing.
