A distant starboard bow view of the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cruise ship Viceroy of India (1929) at anchor in an unknown location. She has her port anchor deployed and an accommodation ladder is rigged to a shell door amidships. The photographer is in a motor tender heading away from the ship and some of the boat's occupants are in the foreground, including a lascar seaman holding a boathook. There is no land in the background and the horizon is not level. The negative is out of focus.
