A starboard near broadside view, taken from only just abaft the beam, of the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cruise ship Stratheden (1937) moored in San Marco Basin, Venice, Italy. She has accommodation ladders rigged to shell doors amidships and aft. The photographer is looking north-north-east from San Giorgio Maggiore showing the Riva Schiavoni at the water's edge. In the right background is the bell tower of the Chiesa di San Francesco della Vigna. Negatives numbers P85002, P85004 and P85006 were taken on the same occasion.
