A slightly distant port side view, taken from well ahead of the beam, of the Canadian Pacific Steamships cruise ship Duchess of Richmond (1928) alongside a quay at an unknown location. The photographer is looking across the quay which has piles of rubbish on it and a line of motor cars are near the stern of the ship, with other motor cars driving past. The ship is dressed overall and is flying the United States of America courtesy flag from the foremast top. Brows from the shell doors to the quay are rigged forward and aft. A store shed with ventilators on the roof is in the background. A canal with vegetation on the near bank is in the foreground. Negatives numbers P83650 to P83653 inclusive were taken on the same occasion.
