Port Hercule and the districts of La Condamine and Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Port Hercule and the districts of La Condamine and Monte Carlo district of Monaco. The photographer is looking north-east from high ground at the west end of Monaco Rock (Monaco-ville) showing the rooftops of La Condamine district in the foreground with Port Hercule beyond. The passenger tender La Nymphe (1916) can be seen alongside the north quay of the harbour and a luxury motor yacht is berthed stern-on to the north breakwater. The district of Monte Carlo is beyond the harbour and the domed and twin towered Casino de Monte Carlo is on the headland. At anchor offshore and seen from only just abaft her starboard beam is the Cunard Line passenger cruise ship Laconia (1922). Mont Agel is in the left background and Cape Martin is in the right background.
