A starboard quarter view of the passenger cruise liner Strathnaver (1931) or the Strathaird (1932), taken from the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique Terminal quay in the north harbour at Algiers. She is berthed stern-on to the quay and her stern is out of the picture. A line of pontoons form a causeway from the ship's accommodation ladder to the quay to enable the passengers to come and go. Local traders are hawking their wares, including rugs and carpets, from open rowing boats alongside the pontoons.
