The town of Mindelo and Porto Grande Harbour, St. Vincent (Sao Vicente), Cape Verde Islands. The photographer is looking north-west over the rooftops of Mindelo showing lighters, sloops and schooners just offshore. Anchored further out are two general cargo steamships, a cable vessel and a Canadian Pacific Steamships Duchess class (1928) cruise ship. They are all seen from off the starboard beam and the cruise ship is one of Duchess of Atholl (1928), Duchess of Bedford (1928) or Duchess of Richmond (1928). A signal station is on top of the hill to the right of centre and a multi-bladed wind pump is in the left foreground.
