A slightly distant starboard broadside view of the Cunard Line cruise ship Lancastria (1922) at anchor in the harbour at Funchal, Madeira. Her starboard anchor is deployed and she is in the standard Cunard livery of black hull with white upperworks but the white has been extended down by one deck. An accommodation ladder is rigged at the shell door amidships and a number of local craft are clustered at the foot of the gangway. Rowing boats with covering awnings rigged are drawn up on the beach in the foreground. Other boats and lighters are at anchor or moorings in the harbour including a launch on the right that has 'Lloyd's Agent' painted on the hull.
