The Blue funnel ship on the left is a Priam class ship. Built around 1967 just as containerisation was starting to take over from general cargo. The other ship could be an 'H' class boat, Helenus, Ixion, or Hector. I would say the picture is from around 1968-9. I have never seen quite as good an ariel shot of the much remembered Holt's wharf.

Ship in foreground is "P" class  ie PYRRHUS, PATROCLUS, PELEUS. The difference between these ships and "H" class is on fore deck. P class , ahead of bridge , two samson posts fore mast , two more samson posts. H class ahead of bridge,  four samson posts, fore mast  none ahead of mast.
