The ship is docked at the South Franklin Dock. In the foreground from front to back: Intermediate Vessel Float, Taku Smokeries Ice House, Port/Customs Building, Mt. Roberts Tramway lower terminal, and the Juneau Convention and Visitors Bureau Visitor’s Center (totally in shadow); South Franklin Street is on the right. The furthest cruise ship is Holland America’s Zaandam at the Alaska Steamship Dock and the one at the Cruise Ship Terminal is Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Pearl. The greenish cast is from the tint of the windows.
