A distant port side view, taken from well abaft the beam, of the Swedish cruise ship Gripsholm (1925) anchored in the River Amazon at the Ilha Jararaca near Belem, Brazil. She is in all-white livery, her promenade deck has been plated in and she has an accommodation ladder rigged to a shell door under the bridge. A local family and their dwelling is on the left and local boats are in the foreground. The settlement is variously recorded as Jaracaras and Jararacas and this negative bears the penned caption "Jararacas".
