Shipping in Grand Harbour, Malta. The photographer is in the Upper Barracca at Valletta looking east-by-north over the dome of Our Lady of Liesse Church in the right foreground showing Fort Rinella on the right, Fort Ricasoli in the centre and the Lower Barracca Gardens on the left. Three vessels are berthed stern-on to the Barriera (Quarry) Wharf, the nearest being the private luxury yacht Warrior (1924) or Vanadis (1924), seen from abaft her starboard beam. She has awnings rigged fore and aft and she changed her name from Warrior to Vanadis in April 1937. Next to her and also seen from abaft her starboard beam is the Donaldson Atlantic Line passenger cruise ship Letitia (1925) and she is dressed overall. Furthest away is the Blue Star Line passenger cruise ship Arandora Star (1927). At moorings in Bighi Bay is the Royal Navy aircraft carrier Glorious (1916), seen from just abaft her port beam.
