On board the Orient Line cruise ship Orontes (1929) in Vadheimsfjorden, off the Sognefjorden, Norway
On board the Orient Line cruise ship Orontes (1929) in the Vadheimsfjorden, off Sognefjorden, Norway. The photographer is looking forward from the forward end of the promenade deck on the starboard side showing an elderly seaman standing in the chains preparing to take soundings using a lead line. Another seaman is leaning over the ship's rail holding the weighted end of the lead line. The village of Vadheim is in the background and the mountains are shrouded in low cloud.
