A distant port quarter view of the Orient Line passenger cruise liner Orcades (1937) anchored off Alexandretta, Turkey, taken from the shore. Two women, a girl and a goat are on the beach in the foreground. A former Royal Navy KIL class gunboat of 1918-1919 converted to a merchant cargo ship is at anchor on the left. A large number of these vessels were registered under Italian owners, the Salam had an Egyptian owner and the San Gorg had a Maltese owner.
