Shipping in port at Montevideo, Uruguay. The photographer is looking west across the harbour showing a general cargo ship at a wharf on the left transhipping cargo into a coaster alongside. Another general cargo ship is berthed astern and is in ballast. A small motor coaster is under way in the centre of the picture. A sheerlegs pontoon is alongside the breakwater on the right and a large number of mooring and navigation buoys are on the breakwater. Cargo ships are anchored in the outer harbour.
