Tolo Harbour fisher type junks at Aberdeen, Hong Kong
A stern view of some three masted Tolo Harbour fisher type junks berthed at Aberdeen, Hong Kong. Two of the vessels have mizzen lug sails hoisted and fishing nets suspended, presumably to dry. They have overhanging sterns and the nearest vessel has the number 06977 painted on the quarter. A sampan is close under the stern of the junk on the left. The photographer was in the area on four occasions: 6 to 28 May 1937; 14 October 1937 to 8 January 1938; 14 April to 4 June 1938 and 8 to 12 September 1938.
