A very distant port side view, taken from well ahead of the beam, of a Canadian Pacific Steamships passenger cruise ship of the Duchess Class (1928) at anchor off the west coast of Martinique, possibly off Saint Pierre. The ship is one of Duchess of Atholl (1928), Duchess of Bedford (1928) or Duchess of Richmond (1928). The photographer is on shore looking along the coast showing a few buildings and palm trees on the left with a heavily wooded headland in the background.
