A slightly distant port bow view of the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cruise ship Viceroy of India (1929) moored and anchored in San Marco Basin, Venice, Italy. Both anchors are deployed and she is moored to a buoy astern. She has accommodation ladders rigged to a shell door amidships and to 'C' deck aft and gondolas are alongside both ladders. She has an full awning rigged over her aft promenade deck. The Blue Peter is flying from the port yardarm on her foremast. Waterbus number 33 is passing the ship and a gondola is in the foreground. The photographer is looking west-by-north from the promenade near the Calle San Biagio showing St. Mark's Campanile, the Doge's Palace and the entrance to the Grand Canal on the right.
