A close-up view of the starboard side of the Orient Line cruise ship Orion (1935) moored in Bighi Bay, Grand Harbour, Malta. The photographer is in a boat close to the hull amidships off the starboard side, looking aft and to port showing two accommodation ladders rigged aft; one at a shell door and the other further aft at the main deck. Lifeboat number 17 is alongside the forward accommodation ladder and is embarking passengers. Lifeboat number 18 is next to the aft accommodation ladder. Three dghaisas are standing off on the left of the picture.
