Filletted fish laid out to dry on the shore of the Trangisvaagsfjordur in the village of Tvoroyri on the island of Suduroy in the Faroe Islands. The photographer is on a shore excursion from the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cruise ship Viceroy of India (1929) looking south-east -by-south towards the entrance to the fjord. Local women are piling the fish into stacks which are then covered with canvas and matting. A general cargo steamship is alongside the main quay on the right with fishing vessels on the inland side of the quay.
