A slightly distant port broadside view of the passenger cruise ship Gripsholm (1925) berthed alongside shed 8 in the harbour at Bahia, Brazil. The photographer is looking from a high vantage point over waste ground. The ship is dressed overall and is partly hidden behind the shed. A four storey building with a large number of windows is on the left with a square tower-like building next to it. A large number of motor cars are parked outside the gate by the side of shed 8. A small steamship, a tug, some lighters and a floating crane are in the harbour.
