On board an unidentified cruise ship looking at the harbour breakwaters at Vigo, Spain. The photographer is on the aft end of the starboard boat deck looking aft showing number 17 lifeboat missing from its davits. A few passengers are standing by the ship's rail looking down at the accommodation ladder. Number 19 lifeboat is in its davits just ahead of the poop deck. Work is proceeding on the construction of the concrete breakwater on the left. The entrance to Vigo Bay is in the background.
