A distant port bow view of the Canadian Pacific Steamships cruise ship Empress of Australia (1914) anchored in a fjord in the Svartisen Glacier region in Norway, presumably in the Holandsfjord. The photographer is at the water's edge looking out into the fjord showing a number of motor fishing vessels anchored offshore. One of these boats is registered N84L and has tree branches on deck and fitted to the stempost and the top of the foremast. Another boat is dressed overall. One of the cruise ship's motor tenders is transferring passengers at the water's edge. The land in the background is shrouded in mist.
