The Upper Barracca Gardens, Valletta, Malta, and the Italian passenger/cargo liner Citta di Trieste (1915) berthed on Lascaris Wharf.
The Upper Barracca Gardens, Valletta, Malta. The photographer is looking west-north-west from a vessel in Bighi Bay, probably the Orient Line passenger cruise ship Orontes (1929), showing two dghaisas in the foreground. The motor lifeboat from the Orontes (1929) is towing a line of four fully manned lifeboats in the harbour at the end of a lifeboat drill. The lifeboat crews have their oars tossed. Moored stern-on to the Barriera (Quarry) Wharf and seen from off her port bow is the Italian passenger/cargo liner Citta di Trieste (1915).
