A slightly distant starboard side view, taken from well abaft the beam, of the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cruise ship Viceroy of India (1929) at Quarry Wharf, Valletta, Malta. She is berthed stern-on to the wharf and has both anchors deployed. She has an accommodation ladder rigged to her shell door amidships and a steam passenger launch and dghaisas are alongside it. Two fuel or water lighters are berthed abreast aft of the ladder. She is flying the Blue Peter from the starboard yardarm of her foremast. A small cargo ship is heading out of the harbour. The photographer is looking east-north-east from the Upper Barrakka showing six 18 pdr. field howitzers in the Saluting Battery in the foreground. Ricasoli and the harbour entrance is in the background.
