She is flying the Cuban flag from the head of her foremast. In the left background is the royal Navy light cruiser Delhi (1918), seen from just abaft her starboard beam, and she has awnings rigged. She is the flagship of the Vice-Admiral 8th Cruiser Squadron. On the extreme left is the local tug Havaco (1928).
