A slightly distant port side view, taken from well ahead of the beam, of the Orient Line cruise ship Orontes (1929) anchored and moored in the Saltsjon at Stockholm, Sweden. She has both anchors deployed. Two local tugs are by her bow and another two are alongside the mooring buoy abaft her stern. Moored in the left background and seen from off her starboard beam is the Swedish Navy hulk Vanadis (1862). She is a former steam frigate that was hulked in 1894 and broken up between 1939 and 1945.
