A port side view, taken from well ahead of the beam, of the Canadian Pacific Steamships cruise ship Duchess of Richmond (1928) moored to buoys in Grand Harbour, Malta. The photographer is looking south from above Pinto Wharf in Valletta showing French Creek on the left and the Admiralty Floating Dock No. 8 in the right background. The ship is dressed overall and she is flying the Blue Peter from the port yardarm on the foremast. Number 16 lifeboat has been launched and number 18 boat is swung out. An accommodation ladder is rigged at her aft shell doors and a number of local boats are clustered around it.
