¾ starboard bow view of S.S. OTTINGE, just off Cardiff's Pierhead, with the Mountstuart Dry-docks in the background.

The 1,744 gross ton steamer Ottinge was built on the Tyne in 1918, and was acquired by Constants (South Wales) Ltd. in 1929. The Constant family were natives of Gravesend who transferred their head office from London to Cardiff in 1929. Most of their vessels were named after rural villages in Kent.
