Blazing 'Oronsay' Lists in Rock: During the night, fireman pump water into the blazing Orient liner 'Oronsay'. New danger threatened the 28,200 tons Orient liner 'Oronsay' when thousands of gallons of water pumped into her blazing hull gave her superilous list to-day (Sunday) after firemen had battled through the night to save the ship, flaming in the Barrow-in-Furness yards where she was fitting out for her maiden voyage in 1951. Only a 150-ton crane at first prevented her crashing down to the quay. October 29, 1950. (Photo by Reuterphoto).
