Hoisting out one of the port side motor tenders on board the Orient Line cruise ship Orontes (1929) while under way off an unknown coast. The photographer is looking forward over the port rail from the forward end of the promenade deck showing the tender suspended over the side of the well deck by eight lines from the forward derrick. Four of the ship's crew are in the tender. The coastline in the background could be Vigo Bay, Spain.
