The south corner of the harbour at Bahia, Brazil. The photographer is looking down from a high vantage point alongside the Elevador Lacerta showing a large number of lateen rigged sailing craft in the foreground with lighters moored near the breakwater. On the left is a two storey building under a pitched roof. Inside the breakwater on the right, partly hidden by the top of the Elevador Lacerta, is the Sao Marcelo Fort.
