A two funnelled, black hulled Orient Line steamer (either ORSOVA or OTWAY) is departing, while a P & O mail steamer (possibly MONGOLIA) is at B & C berths at Victoria Quay. A vessel at E Berth is possibly the suction dredge PREMIER. The Fremantle Harbour Trust building with prominent tower is visible at 1 Cliff Street. On the right of it is a group of cottages occupied by Harbour Trust employees. To the right is the view back along the South Mole to the Power House with the tall chimney. to the left of the Power House is the municipal stone crusher. A group of fishing boats are moored in the lee of South Mole where they sheltered before the first fishing boat harbour groyne was built in 1922. Identifiable fishing boats include JENNY, COLOMBIA and possibly KOORI. On the far right can be seen the "new" Fremantle baths.
