A large number of single masted sailing craft dried out near the shore in the harbour at Belem, Brazil. Men are handling wicker baskets of produce and a throng of people is on the harbourside. The harbourside has tram wires suspended above it and a colonial style building is on the right. In the background is an octagonal two storey lookout building with a pointed top. Names on the sailing craft include Santa Custodia, Protonauta and Viciense.
