The ship has her port anchor deployed and two local service craft are alongside. Three ships with awnings rigged are laid up in the left foreground and a sheerlegs is on the quayside. A number of cargo ships are in port in the background including a Doxford turret deck vessel. The castle on the summit of Montjuic hill is in the background.
