A port bow view of the Cunard White Star Line cruise ship Laconia (1922) berthed alongside a wharf at Lisbon, Portugal. She is in the standard livery of black hull and white upperworks but the white has been extended down by one deck. The photographer is on the quayside looking towards the ship's stern from ahead of her bow. The top of her foremast is out of the picture. A steel brow connects to the quay from a shell door amidships. Track mounted cranes and two other steamships are in the background. The horizon is not level.
