The west side of Gibraltar seen from on board the Orient line passenger cruise ship Orion (1935) which is in the Bay of Gibraltar. The photographer is on the aft games deck looking to port showing two passengers sitting in folding chairs and two crew members cleaning the ship's rails. A coaling hulk, lighters and cargo ships are anchored or moored in the bay, as is the Cunard Line passenger cruise ship Lancastria (1922). Beyond the Lancastria (1922) is a P. & O. passenger cruise ship, either the Strathnaver (1931) or the Strathaird (1932).
