Colombo Harbour Entrance.
Another (extremely poor) image captured from the deck of the Thos and Jno Brocklebank Ltd cargo liner SS Mahseer this time looking towards the entrance to Colombo Harbour and the Indian Ocean beyond. At the time this image was captured (early 1964) Mahseer was loading from barges prior to her return to the UK. All of the crew were looking forward to our departure date because our time at Colombo that voyage had been considerably extended due to the strike by dockworkers and customs officials that eventually escalated into a general strike by Ceylon's Public Sector Workers.
