A cook in the preparation room or galley on board an unidentified Peninsular & Oriental Group vessel.

A cook in the preparation room or galley on board an unidentified Peninsular & Oriental Group vessel. He is standing behind a worktop on which there is a box of mushrooms, a green leafed item that looks like kale, and a large joint of pork on a chopping block. On the worktop behind him are tomatoes. The ports have metal grills outboard and the glazed ports and deadlights are hinged up. This is almost certainly on board a cargo ship and not a passenger vessel. A vertical format image.
