The harbour in the port of La Guaira, Venezuela. The photographer is looking east-south-east into the harbour from on board a passenger cruise ship which is anchored off, showing the end of the breakwater. A small motor coaster and a deep-sea cargo ship are alongside the wharf in the harbour. A number of lighters and schooners are at moorings on the right. A fortress overlooking the harbour is high up the slope of the Cordillera de la Costa Central Mountain Range.
