A close starboard quarter view of the Canadian Pacific Steamships cruise ship Montrose (1922) at anchor off Funchal, Madeira. She is dressed overall and a number of local bumboats are gathered alongside the ship. The traders are trying to sell their cane and wickerwork furniture and other wares to the passengers on board the ship. The photographer is in a boat off the starboard quarter and the stern of the ship is out of the picture.
