View from the sea towards the coast – red tiled roofs and fishing boats in the water in the foreground. Could be Mombasa or more likely Stonetown in Zanzibar. Luggage being unloaded from a large cart. A small passenger cruise ship in dock. Ship leaving dock. Sunset. Passengers sitting on upper deck at sea. The boat approaches a mountainous island. A coast guard vessel pulls alongside the cruise boat. It is flying the Seychelles flag from the 1960s. Vessel arrives at a small dock, people wait on the quayside. It is probably Victoria on Mahe island in the Seychelles.
