A starboard side view, taken from abaft the beam, of the Cunard White Star Line cruise ship Doric (1923) stopped after a collision in the Atlantic off Oporto, Portugal.

A slightly distant starboard broadside view of the Cunard White Star Line cruise ship Doric (1923) stopped after a collision in the Atlantic off Oporto, Portugal. Six of her starboard side boats have been swung out and lowered to deck level and one has been lowered to the water. She has an accommodation ladder rigged to her well deck aft with three boats alongside it. She is probably transferring passengers to another ship. Her hull just ahead of the bridge structure is showing the collision damage.
The Doric was in collision with the Formigny (1915) in fog off Oporto and proceeeded to Vigo Bay for temporary repairs before returning to Tilbury.
