Boats arriving alongside the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company cruise ship Viceroy of India (1929) while she is at anchor in Mediterranean waters. Her motor tender A is alongside the accommodation ladder which is rigged to a shell door amidships on the starboard side and she is disembarking her passengers. A motor lifeboat is standing off waiting her turn and the photographer is in another boat looking forward. Only a small part of the starboard side of the hull of the Viceroy of India is in the picture.
