A port side view, taken from well ahead of the beam, of the Orient Line cruise ship Orontes (1929) alongside a commercial wharf at Copenhagen, Denmark. She has an accommodation ladder rigged aft and one of her boats is alongside it. Her forward derrick is swung out to port and its strops have been lowered. A water boat is alongside amidships. The funnels of two ships belonging to the same shipowner can be seen on the far side of the wharf on the left. The horizon is not quite level.
