Dockers at Southampton were busy unloading a valuable cargo from the 85, 000 ton liner
Dockers at Southampton were busy unloading a valuable cargo from the 85, 000 ton liner Queen Elizabeth, which arrived from New York. 500 t of linseed was needed for sewing on 11, 000 acres of recently flooded fenlands, and linseed is the most suitable crop. The Ministry of Food pointed out that the seed must be here by the beginning of May so the Conrad White Star owners gave this cargo top priority in place of the ships normal luxury luggage.
Picture shows: the sacks of linseed are unloaded from the Queen Elizabeth at Southampton ready to be transported to their destination.
