Passengers taking tea on the aft end of the promenade deck on the Orient Line cruise ship Otranto (1925) while under way at sea. The photographer is standing on the starboard side of the poop house looking forward showing passengers sitting in wickerwork armchairs around small tables covered with white cloths on which there are teapots, cups, saucers and plates. Some of the women are holding umbrellas to shield them from the sun. A number of stewards are attending the passengers. A vertical format negative.
