Boats alongside the Orient Line passenger cruise ship Orontes (1929) at anchor in Bighi Bay, Grand Harbour, Malta. The photographer is in a boat off the starboard side of the ship looking towards the stern showing her motor tender No. 17 alongside one of the two accommodation ladders that have been deployed. Steam pinnace 410, a number of local dghaisas and a naval motor barge are near the accommodation ladders and Fort St. Angelo is in the background.
