A port quarter view of the Hong Kong fisher d.w. type junk 2473HA anchored at Hong Kong

A port quarter view, taken from fine off the stern, of the Hong Kong fisher d.w. type junk 2473HA anchored at Hong Kong. She is a three masted vessel and her mizzen lug sail is set, presumably to dry. Her port number is painted on the stern and her boat is suspended just above the water on the port side. A number of junks are berthed in the background. The photographer was in the area in the following periods: 6 to 28 May 1937; 14 October 1937 to 8 January 1938; 14 April to 4 June 1938 and 8 to 12 September 1938. Negative number P34130 is a close stern view of the same vessel.
