“BEWARE OF BULB” is the notice painted on the bow of the Leave Lloyd, now berthed at Lyttelton. A diagram of the bulbous projection is also painted above the notice, and a line suspended (left), with a red lamp attached, indicates the distance the bulb extends. The projection can be seen under the surface of the water. The bulb, which has been recently developed, is claimed to give greater speed. It is being fitted mostly to tankers, and installation on a cargo vessel, such as the Leuve Lloyd, is not common.
