A new boiler for paddle steamer BRITANNIA being off-loaded from a low-loader road trailer on which it had travelled from Glasgow to Cardiff Docks. Because of the boiler's weight, the lifting operation had to be carried out by 100-ton floating crane SIMSON III. The vessel was being converted to oil firing.
