A port quarter view of the Canadian Pacific Steamships cruise ship Duchess of Richmond (1928) moored stern-on to the quay at Algiers, Algeria. The photographer is on the quay adjacent to the ship's port quarter showing a line of wooden pontoons alongside the ship and her accommodation ladder is rigged from the aft shell door to the pontoons. Local traders are selling their wares from tables set up on the pontoons next to the ship. The ship is dressed overall and her stern is out of the picture. Two port officials are in the foreground.
