A distant port side view of manual lifeboat number 8 being towed by a motor tender to return to the Orient Line cruise ship Orontes (1929) after winning the race in Sognefjord off Balholm, Norway. The boat is manned by sixteen passengers supervised by two of the ship's crew. The photographer is looking down from the forward promenade deck of the Orontes. Two local double-ended rowing boats are in the foreground.
