A starboard broadside view of the Cunard White Star Line cruise ship Doric (1923) stopped after a collision in the Atlantic off Oporto, Portugal. Seven of her starboard side boats have been swung out and lowered to deck level and she has an accommodation ladder rigged to her well deck aft. Her hull just ahead of the bridge structure is showing the collision damage. Two boats are shuttling between the Doric and the photographer's ship. A light fog is covering the scene.
The Doric was in collision with the French cargo ship Formigny (1915) in fog off Oporto and proceeeded to Vigo Bay for temporary repairs before returning to Tilbury.
