A distant starboard side view, taken from well ahead of the beam, of the Orient Line passenger cruise ship Orama (1924) at anchor in the harbour at Palermo, Sicily. Her hull is partially obscured by a steam tanker anchored close to her. The photographer is looking out into the harbour from across a wide quay. Horse-drawn 2-wheeled carts are on the quay with lateen rigged sailing vessels alongside the quay wall. A group of men with baskets are sitting under a tree on the left.
