A coastal scene on St. Michaels Island (Sao Miguel), Azores. The photographer is looking towards the shore from on board an unidentified passenger cruise ship. There are buildings in view and on the left is a four storey building under a pitched roof close to the water's edge behind a sea wall. The precise location is unknown. On the right is a motor lifeboat under way and it appears to be flying a large jack. The negative is very slightly out of focus.
