The commercial port at Palermo, Sicily.

The commercial port at Palermo, Sicily. The photographer is looking west across the harbour from the end of a large quay showing a number of single masted, lateen sailed vessels alongside the quay wall with men handling wooden packing cases of cargo. A steam powered bucket dredger with a five pointed star on the funnel is in the corner of the harbour. Residential and commercial premises front the harbour and the city is ringed by mountains.
