Looking east-by-north from the upper roadway at Algiers showing the visiting passenger cruise liner Laconia (1922) berthed stern-on to the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique terminal quay in the north harbour at Algiers with an engines aft tanker beyond her. A pontoon causeway and two steam tugs are alongside her. In the foreground is the railway goods depot and beyond its roof is the Compagnie de Navigation Mixte passenger/cargo ferry Djemila (1909). An unidentified merchant ship is alongside a quay on the right and another is berthed stern-on to the breakwater.
