Lifeboats being launched from on board the Orient Line cruise ship Orion (1935) during an exercise in an unknown Baltic port. The photographer is on the port bridge wing looking aft showing a boat drill for the crew with all boats swung out and being lowered with at least three already in the water. A cargo steamer, seen from off her port beam, is alongside a wharf in the background and she has the funnel markings of the Bristol City Line. The location is almost certainly one of the ports on the south coast of the Baltic. A vertical format negative. Negatives numbers P84371 to P84377 inclusive were taken on the same occasion.
