Appalling scene in the hold when the hatch was opened on a general cargo ship in an Arabian Port, possibly Kuwait. The men in the photo are a ship's Deck Officer and port workers inspecting the damage and trying to sort it out. One reason why shipping containers became popular. Photo taken in 1977.
