On board the Ellerman Lines passenger/cargo liner City of Nagpur (1922) in the anchorage at Ajaccio, Corsica. The photographer is on the starboard side of the promenade deck aft, looking forward showing a female passenger sitting in a deck chair with her feet on the ship's rail while another woman is standing nearby watching two lascar seamen looking over the ship's side. Ajaccio waterfront is in the background and an unidentified brigantine is alongside a quay projecting into the bay.
