In the harbour in the port of La Guaira, Venezuela. The photographer is looking west from a wharf in the harbour showing two 2 masted schooners moored alongside a wharf that has a rake of railway flat cars on it. Both schooners have awnings rigged over their decks. More schooners and other sailing vessels are at moorings in the harbour. Low rise warehouses and other buildings are on the lower slopes of the Cordillera de la Costa Central Mountain Range.
