The floating market and the Waaigat at Willemstad, Curacao. The photographer is on the north side of the Waaigat looking south-by-east showing two sculling punts alongside the quay in the foreground. A passenger cruise ship's motor lifeboat is on the right. A number of schooners and cutters are at the floating market alongside De Ruyterkade and they all have awnings rigged over their decks. One of the buildings fronting De Ruyterkade is Wimco. A poster advertising the 1933 film "The Prizefighter and the Lady", starring Myrna Loy and Max Baer, is pasted to the front of a building and a motor charabanc is parked in front of it.
