A view of the harbour of Port Antonio, Jamaica with the cruise ship New Bahama Star (1957) at anchor between Titchfield Peninsula and Folly Point. The photographer is probably looking north east by east from on board the reefer ship Jamaica Planter (1959) towards Folly Point. The New Bahama Star is at anchor in the harbour, close to Folly Point. Two of the cruise ship's lifeboats are in the foreground heading back empty to New Bahama Star and a third lifeboat is at the foot of its accommodation ladder.
