A slightly distant port side view, of the Cunard Line cruise ship Lancastria (1922) anchored in Geirangerfjord off Merok, Norway.

A slightly distant port side view, taken from abaft the beam, of the Cunard Line cruise ship Lancastria (1922) at anchor in Geirangerfjord at Merok, Norway. The ship is in the standard Cunard livery of black hull and white upperworks but the white has been extended down by one deck. She has her starboard anchor deployed, an accommodation ladder is rigged at the midship shell doors and lifeboats 2 and 8 are out of their falls. Two motor lifeboats are shuttling passengers between the ship and the shore. Low cloud is obscuring the top of the mountains in the background.
