Port Broadside view of S.S. DAXHOUND in Cardiff Docks, c.1948.
The 1,128 gross ton coasting tanker Daxhound was built at Hamburg in 1931 and eight years later was acquired by Hadley Shipping of London, established in 1926. She usually operated on time charter to the Petroleum Board, and is seen here approaching the East Bute Basin, c. 1948. She was sold back to German owners in 1951.
