In the Bahia da Potinha at Funchal, Madeira. The photographer is looking north-east from the inside of the breakwater showing a large and a small esperada fishing boats and the lifeboat of a general cargo coaster in the foreground. The passenger landing pier is just to the left of centre with a tall brick-built column with a mast on top of it at the inland end of the pier. A large warehouse or factory building is beyond the pier. The Swedish passenger cruise ship Gripsholm (1925), seen from off her starboard beam, is in the anchorage and she is dressed overall.
