Ship's lifeboats from the Orient Line cruise ship Orcades (1937) in the water for racing at Korcula, Yugoslavia. The photographer is looking down from the promenade deck on the starboard side aft showing two ten-oared lifeboats alongside the accommodation ladder preparing for a race. The crews are a mix of passengers and crew members and most of the passengers in the nearest boat are wearing paper fezes. The crew of the outboard boat are wearing a different type of headgear.
