On board the Orient Line cruise ship Orontes (1929) while under way in the Bosphorus passing Rumelihisarı fortress heading south. The photographer is near the centreline just abaft the bridge looking aft and to starboard across the boat deck showing the forward boiler room ventilators at the base of the forefunnel. Two women are playing deck quoits and a number of passengers are lining the rail under lifeboat number 7. The fortress of Rumelihisari is in the background. A vertical format negative.
