In the middle distant is the Nassau Harbour lighthouse on the western end of Paradise Island. Beyond Paradise Island on the left is the Canadian Pacific Steamships passenger cruise ship Empress of Britain (1931) and on the right is the Svenska-Amerika Linie passenger cruise ship Kungsholm (1928), both at anchor and both viewed from off the starboard beam.
