A distant view of the volcano Stromboli in the Lipari Islands, Italy, seen from on board a passing cruise ship. The photographer is looking to starboard showing a boat davit and the bow of a clinker built lifeboat which has the number 27 on the bow and a capacity of 70 persons. A hinged platform is on the left. The ship is believed to be one of the Canadian Pacific Steamships Company Montcalm (1921), Montrose (1922) or Montclare (1922).
