A close port side view, taken from alongside the bow looking aft, of the Orient Line cruise ship Orontes (1929) alongside the Ocean Dock at Southampton, Hampshire. The photographer is looking south along the quay which has a number of rail mounted cranes on it, two of which have large double decked cabs fitted with very large windows. The ship is berthed port side to the quay and a brow is rigged aft. A vertical format negative.
