Karl-Jakob K at Plymouth
Image: © Stephen McKay Taken: 30 Aug 2022
In maritime terms, Plymouth is best know for its naval dockyard and leisure boating but it also operates as a general port and here the Karl-Jakob K is in the last stages of unloading her cargo of sand or aggregates at the Cattedown wharves. The blue crane is in the process of emptying her hold. The ship is a general cargo vessel built in 2006 and sails under the flag of the Netherlands. She had arrived at Plymouth a few days earlier from Ghent in Belgium and would sail for Spain later on this day.
