A starboard bow view of the Swedish coastal passenger/cargo ship Gustavsberg III (1905) alongside the landing stage at Saltsjobaden. She is being used as a tender to the Orient Line cruise ship Orion (1935) and a board fixed to a post on her forecastle shows that she is due to return to the Orion at 2.30 p.m. A few passengers and some crew members are on board. The British Red Ensign is hoisted at the jackstaff which has a forward facing searchlight or signal lamp fitted to it. The photographer is on the landing stage looking aft and to port from just ahead of her bow.
