Orient Line lifeboats alongside the shore in the outer harbour of Port Mahon, Minorca

Two Orient Line lifeboats alongside the shore in the outer harbour at Port Mahon, Minorca, Balearic Islands. They are motor lifeboat No. 1 and a pulling boat and passengers are being assisted to disembark during a bathing party excursion. The photographer is standing at the water's edge and a building in a walled enclosure is on the opposite side of the harbour. The boats may belong to the passenger cruise ship Otranto (1925).
