A starboard near broadside view, taken from just abaft the beam, of the Cunard Line cruise ship Samaria (1921) anchored off Funchal, Madeira. Her port anchor is deployed and she has an accommodation ladder rigged to a shell door amidships with boats alongside it. A large lighter and some smaller boats are alongside aft and the lighter is carrying wickerwork furniture that the local traders are hoping to sell to the passengers. Another little group of vessels is alongside the bow of the ship.
