Looking north-north-east from the deck of a passenger cruise liner berthed off the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique terminal quay in the north harbour at Algiers showing units of the French Fleet berthed alongside the terminal. In the foreground are two destroyers of the L'Adroit or Bourrasque classes and the nearest has the word VAUX painted on the bottom of her quarterdeck gun shield. Alongside them is the heavy cruiser Dupleix (1930) and furthest from the camera is the battleship Lorraine (1913).
