On board a Canadian Pacific Steamships passenger cruise ship of the Duchess class (1928) leaving Miami, Florida. The ship is one of Duchess of Atholl (1928), Duchess of Bedford (1928) or Duchess of Richmond (1928) and the photographer is on the port side of the aft promenade deck looking forward and to port. The ship is passing an island on which a large number of motor cars are parked. The clipper bow of a luxury steam or motor yacht can be seen on the left.
