On board the British India Steam Navigation Company passenger/cargo liner Santhia (1950) embarking passengers alongside a wharf at Singapore. The photographer is looking down and forward from the promenade deck showing the Singapore Harbour Board brow number 8 with a B-I banner rigged for the embarkation of passengers and barriers separate the boarding area from the rest of the wharf. The passengers are having their papers checked at a table at the foot of the brow. Transparencies numbers PCT578 to PCT601 were taken on the same occasion.
