The Bahia da Potinha breakwater, Mohle Fort and the anchorage at Funchal, Madeira.
The Bahia da Potinha breakwater, Mohle Fort and the anchorage at Funchal, Madeira. The photographer is looking east-by-north from Reid's Palace Hotel gardens. Just visible on the beach on the left is the new private swimming pool built for the Savoy Hotel. The Mohle Fort is at the end of the Bahia da Potinha breakwater which has been strengthened with large concrete blocks on the south side. Out in the anchorage is a United States flagged cargo ship built by the American International Shipbuilding Corporation at Hog Island, Philadelphia, owned by Lykes Bros and operating on the Dixie Mediterranean Line service. Her name is not legible. Beyond this ship is one of five Canadian Pacific Steamships passenger cruise ships of the Duchess class (1928-1929).
