A port broadside view of the Orient Line cruise ship Orontes (1929) at anchor in Ulvikfjord off Ulvik, Norway. She has her starboard anchor deployed and two accommodation ladders are rigged aft, one to the main deck with a boat alongside it and one to a shell door. Lifeboat number 6 has been swung out and lowered to upper promenade deck level. The Blue Peter is flying from the port yardarm on the foremast. The photographer is looking from the shore showing a young boy lying on the grass in the foreground and a wooden building on the right. There are patches of snow on the mountains in the background.
