The dockyard at Falmouth was a busy place in 1961, if this photograph is anything to go by.
Several BP tankers were at the docks, undergoing repairs, when the picture was taken, and you can see the British Energy in number 2 dock
The Port Line refrigerated cargo ship Port Wyndham was also being repaired, in number 1 dock.
