Looking across the Vagen harbour to the Skagenkaien at Stavanger, Norway. The photographer is on the Strandkaien looking north-east showing the commercial premises fronting the Skagenkaien and the Valbergtarnet (watchkeepers' observation tower) completed in 1853 is in the background. A single masted sailing vessel and a coastal steamship are berthed on the right. The negative is very slightly out of focus and none of the names on the buildings can be made out.
