She has accommodation ladders rigged amidships and aft with a passenger tender alongside the amidships one. A water lighter is alongside aft and lifeboat number 16 has been launched. The photographer is looking east-by-south through an archway in the Upper Barrakka above the Saluting Battery showing Ricasoli in the background with the Bighi Naval Hospital on the right.
