A close-up port side view, taken from the quayside fine off the bow, of the Orient Line cruise ship Orford (1928) alongside the Itchen Quays at Southampton. The photographer is looking through the legs of a track mounted crane showing a line of cranes along the quay and the nearest one is working a cargo net onto the forward well deck. A wooden barrier fence is across the quay and a brow is rigged to the ship's main deck aft. A vertical format negative.
