On board the boom defence vessel Barbain (1940) working off Sembawang, Singapore
On board the boom defence vessel Barbain (1940) working off Sembawang, Singapore. The photographer is looking forward on the foredeck showing six crew members working on a large steel shackle holding two separate links of a mooring chain. The shackle pin has been removed and the men are using steel bars and a rope to reposition the shackle. The links of a large mooring chain are on the left, hanging down over the bow round-down. Negatives numbers P99801 to P99847 inclusive were taken on the same occasion.
