Her lower promenade deck has been plated in, she is dressed overall and her numbers 1 and 15 lifeboats are in the water with one being alongside her forward accommodation ladder. The photographer is on shore next to a stone pier on which a number of steel oil drums are stored. Manoeuvring near the pier is the Gripsholm's Number 2 motor lifeboat bringing a load of passengers ashore.
