The Otrabanda district and the Queen Emma pontoon swing bridge at Willemstad, Curacao.

The Otrabanda district and the Queen Emma pontoon swing bridge at Willemstad, Curacao. The photographer is on board a passenger cruise ship in Santa Anna Bay looking towards the Otrabanda side while the ship passes through the open swing bridge. Buildings in the Otrabanda district fronting the bay include the Hotel Americano, a building with a Philips light bulb logo on the roof and the Restaurant Tivoli. The Queen Emma pontoon swing bridge across the bay is in the open position and a 3-masted schooner is berthed alongside the Otrabanda quays on the right. A small ferry is alongside the swing bridge landing stage and a notice board on the quay reads 'Verboden te ankeren kabels'.
