There are times when the ship may pull into a port that has not been visited by Americans for quite some time (fig. 6-25). Photographs can provide a wealth of information such as trading, harbor depth, and various other activities and capabilities of a port. You may be tasked to provide photographic coverage. The following areas should be documented:

1. Panorama of port

2. Ships in port

3. Channel markers

4. Piers

5. Cranes

6. Warehouses

7. Railheads

8. Fuel farms military installations or restricted areas in any port.

9. Port headquarters building

10. Dry docks

11. Ship repair or ship building yards

Most photographs of a port can be taken when your ship is entering or leaving the harbor. Never sneak around
