A distant view of the volcano Stromboli in the Lipari Islands, Italy, seen from on board a passing cruise ship. The photographer is looking across the deck aft showing poeple near the ship's rail looking towards the volcano which is smoking. A crane davit, the shrouds of the mainmast and part of the aft superstructure are in the foreground. The ship is believed to be one of the Canadian Pacific Steamships Company Montcalm (1921), Montrose (1922) or Montclare (1922).
