Container port elevation A densely detailed front-elevation line drawing of a container port in brass on deep navy. A large container ship with a raked bow, hull plating, draft marks and an accommodation block carries eleven bays of stacked containers. Two ship-to-shore gantry cranes stand on the quay: one with its latticed boom lowered over the ship, a trolley and a container suspended on the spreader, the other with its boom raised. To the right a rail-mounted gantry spans stacked yard containers. Water is drawn as layered wave lines with reflections; the quay carries crane rails, bollards, fenders and mooring lines.
