The new Norwegian freighter Tamesis (centre) lying tied up beside the British vessel Rubystone (right), after her arrival at Port Chalmers yesterday afternoon. No berth beside the wharves was available because of the shipping congestion. The passenger cargo liner Ceramic is on the left. And beyond her hidden from sight, is the freighter Leicester. The Tamesis is high up in the water, because the greater part of her cargo has been discharged at northern ports. None of the cargo in the Rubystone has yet been touched, as she arrived at Port Chalmers direct from Brisbane.
