A starboard broadside view of a Tongkung type junk moored at Singapore. The vessel is ketch rigged and has a timber platform under the bowsprit, a mainmast with a gaff and a mizzen mast with a gaff and a boom. Her loose-footed mainsail and her mizzen sail are stowed against the masts. She is in ballast and has a large perforated rudder. She has two objects suspended in her forestays. This is almost a silhouette of the ship. The photographer was at Singapore on four occasions during 1937 and 1938: 9 April to 1 May 1937, 13 January to 26 February 1938, 9 March to 23 March 1938 and 17 September to 30 September 1938.
