Shipping along the commercial waterfront and on the Tagus at Lisbon, Portugal. The photographer is on board the P. & O. passenger cruise ship Viceroy of India (1929) on the Tagus looking towards the city showing a port quarter view of the British flagged cargo steamer Tweed (1926) at anchor with lighters alongside. Alongside the commercial wharves on the right is the passenger/cargo liner Esperance Bay (1922), seen from off her starboard beam, on a Mediterranean cruise out of Southampton. In the centre is a port beam view of the white liveried P. & O. passenger cruise ship Strathmore (1935), also on a cruise. On the left and partially obscured by the Tweed (1926) is the Royal Mail Line passenger/cargo liner Highland Brigade (1929) on a voyage from London to Buenos Aires.
