A slightly distant port broadside view of the Orient Line cruise ship Orontes (1929) at anchor off Calvi, Corsica. Her port anchor is deployed, she has an accommodation ladder rigged aft and lifeboat number 18 has been launched. She is flying the Blue Peter from the starboard yardarm and the French flag from the head of her foremast. One of her boats is returning to the ship from the shore. Mountains are in the background.
