Second Class Dining Saloon on the 'Orama' (1911)

Interior of the passenger liner 'Orama' (1911) showing the Second Class Dining Saloon, on the Upper Deck; a view of the port side, looking forward. The electric punkahs (large fans consisting of a frame covered with canvas) fitted above the tables are visible. The swivel chairs were bolted to the floor to avoid movement during rough weather.

The main public rooms on the 'Orama' were designed by the architect Robert Whyte (1873-1949).
