A port beam view of a manual lifeboat from the Orient Line cruise ship Orontes (1929) heading for the race start in Sognefjord, off Balholm, Norway.. The photographer is on board the anchored ship looking at the boat which is manned by passengers under the supervision of two crew members. The rowing appears to be in a state of chaos. Negatives numbers P84614 to P84618 inclusive were taken on the same occasion.
