These two photos were taken from P&O offices at 32 shed, showing the Orontes, having disembarked passengers at the Landing Stage (now Cruise Terminal), on completion of her last voyage from Australia. She is on her way up river to enter Tilbury lock.

    Great memories of the voyage , still vivid in my mind.
    What a grand old lady .
