The Swedish passenger cruise ship Gripsholm (1925) alongside sheds 1 and 2 at the commercial wharves in Downtown Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The photographer is looking west-north-west from an elevated position, probably the roof of a tall building, showing a starboard bow view of the white liveried ship which is on a cruise. Other cargo and passenger/cargo ships are also alongside the wharves. There are two building sites in the foreground.
