A stern view of a peaked stern Twaqo type junk at Singapore

A stern view of a peaked stern Twaqo type junk berthed bow-on to the shore at Singapore. The vessel appears to be of the two masted type and the top of the mainmast is out of the picture. The transom is gaily painted. Another Twaqo is on the left. 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. The negative has some patches of fine scratching at the bottom.
