A starboard near broadside view, taken from just ahead of the beam, of the 4-masted barque Passat (1911) under sail, possibly in the North Sea or Baltic. She is in ballast and her starboard anchor is not housed. She is probably homeward bound from her discharge port in the U.K. to Mariehamn, Finland for her summer lay-up. The photographer is on board the Peninsular & Oriental Stea, Navigation Company cruise ship Orcades (1937). There is land in the background.
