A close view of local bumboats alongside the Orient Line cruise ship Orion (1935) which is anchored off Tangier, Morocco. The photographer is on board the Orion looking down on one of her motor tenders which is under way close alongside with a full load of tourists. About nine bumboats, each of which has one man at the oars and another man trying to sell his wares, are standing just off the side of the ship. These boats are displaying many designs of pouffe which the traders are hoping to sell.
