The stern of the Orient Line passenger cruise ship Orontes (1929) at moorings in Bighi Bay, Grand Harbour, Malta.
A distant port side view of the stern of the Orient Line passenger cruise ship Orontes (1929) at moorings in Bighi Bay, Grand Harbour, Malta. The photographer is in the Lower Barracca Gardens, Valletta, looking south-east to the Royal Naval Hospital at Bighi. One of the Orontes' motor lifeboats is towing a line of four pulling lifeboats in which the crews have tossed their oars. This is part of a lifeboat drill but the photographer has captioned the negative "Boat race".
