A distant port side view, taken from ahead of the beam, of the Canadian Pacific Steamships cruise ship Melita (1918) anchored off Vigo, Spain. The ship is dressed overall. The photographer is on a shore excursion and is looking over the city rooftops from an elevated vantage point. Above the roof of a building on the right is a semi-circular sign reading "Simlon Garcia". Two coal hulks and a cargo ship are out in Vigo Bay.
