Overview

Second of two colour photographs of Humes' last job before closing. Similar subject matter to that of 1999.204.1 but from a different angle. A large, cylindrical pressure vessel built by Steel Mains, Subiaco can be seen to the left of the image. The vessel is silver in colour and hanging from a girder in a large warehouse. There is a bell crane to the right of the image and the rear of a haulage truck can be seen to the left.
Reverse: 'Steel Mains/Last Job/March/1988' handwritten in black ink.
