A slightly distant port very near broadside view, taken from only just abaft the beam, of the Orient Line cruise ship Orcades (1937) at anchor off Alexandretta, Turkey. Her port anchor is deployed and an accommodation ladder is rigged at the aft shell door. The photographer is on shore looking to seaward with a pineapple palm tree in the right foreground. Two boys are in the foreground looking out to the anchorage from behind a low sea wall. An unidentified cargo ship is in the left background.
