Thank you once again!

Now here is another that possibly someone can assist with!
All I can see is a Star on her Funnel and think (I say think ) the name may be somethimg like Majestic cant see any name on her though,this name was given to me by someone who is not too sure either! It could have three letters before her name again possibly A D Z  ???
looking at her and that star (my eyes are not that good) is there a face of a person on that Funnel as well??????
Thanks to all.

Some of those big cranes  look like the type  which  carry containers at a Container Port.

Any idea of the year  of the photograph?

The funnel looks like it has a star on it. Red Star, Blue Star etc.. ? Line?

Your eyes must be better than mine, because I can't see a name at all! Where can you see these letters?

If you can read "Majestic"     can you also read the name of a Port   underneath  the Ships name, please?

I can't pick out any name but for what it's worth I'd guess that the star on the funnel is red as is the coloured stripe across the top of the funnel.  this suggests Soviet era Russian or maybe Polish.  Just by the way, they don't look like container cranes to me.  Any idea of a date?  Even though I can't pick out a name Majestic doesn't sound very likely.

The Crane by the bows, to the right of the photo  looks like  the type  of  Container  lifting crane   such as at Liverpool, Seaforth  container terminal.
