A port broadside view of the Cunard Line cruise ship Laconia (1922) anchored in an unknown location. She is in the standard livery of black hull and white upperworks, is dressed overall and is flying the Blue Peter from the starboard yardarm on the foremast. An accommodation ladder is rigged at a shell door amidships and at least two of her lifeboats have been launched, one of which is alongside the ladder. Presumably the photographer is in the other one.
