A slightly distant port quarter view of the Bibby Line passenger/cargo liner Staffordshire (1929) moored off the west bank of the Suez Canal at Port Said, Egypt. The photographer is on board the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company passenger cruise ship Viceroy of India (1929) which is under way heading north. On the right is the forepart of an unidentified cargo ship, possibly belonging to the British India Steam Navigation Company Ltd. She has lighters alongside and a number of motor cars are on one of the lighters. A building on the canal side is advertising Beck's Beer. The negative is very slightly out of focus.
