The Monaco Rock and Port Hercule at Monaco. The photographer is looking south-south-west from the Boulevard Louis II in the district of Monte Carlo showing the breakwaters and the harbour entrance of Port Hercule. A 3-masted topsail schooner fully covered with awnings is moored stern-on to the north breakwater and two luxury steam or motor yachts are berthed on the south breakwater. In the background are the medieval fortifications of Monaco Rock with the cathedral surmounting them.
