A slightly distant port bow view of the Orient Line cruise ship Orontes (1929) at anchor in an unknown location. She has her starboard anchor deployed, is flying the Blue Peter from the starboard yardarm of her foremast and has an accommodation ladder to a shell door aft of midships. The photographer is in one of the ship's motor lifeboats heading away from the ship and one of the boat's crew is standing on the transom looking back at the ship. The negative is very slightly out of focus.
