In the harbour at Cartagena, Colombia, showing two pairs of lifeboats from the passenger cruise ship Gripsholm (1925) manoeuvring near a landing stage on the right. A scotch derrick crane and large steel lighters are also on the right. On the left are local sailing craft berthed in line abreast. In the background are three stern wheel passenger/cargo river steamers. The one on the right is single funnelled and its name is something like Potango. The one in the centre has two funnels and its name is believed to be Esteban de Pombo. The third vessel is single funnelled but its name cannot be seen.
