A port side view of the Anchor Line cruise ship Caledonia (1925) at anchor in an unknown location.
A port very near broadside view, taken from only just abaft the beam, of the Anchor Line cruise ship Caledonia (1925) at anchor in an unknown location. She is flying a four flag hoist which is probably her code letters KTGD flag and the courtesy flag at the foremast head may be the US flag. An accommodation ladder is rigged at a forward shell door while a large passenger tender lies alongside her port side aft. A passenger motor launch fitted with a canopy is standing off.
The Caledonia began seasonal cruises from 1930 to September 1939 when she was converted to an Armed Merchant Cruiser and renamed HMS Scotstoun
