Hansen, Leslie W.
(photographer)
Port broadside view of the S.S. Arcturus, Cardiff Docks, c.1936.
Four swans add a graceful touch to this view of the Estonian steamer Arcturus as she discharges her cargo of pit wood, c.1936. This 1,682 gross ton steamer was built on the Tyne in 1890 and was owned by J. Rang of Tallinn at the time this photograph was taken.
