A port quarter view of an Aberdeen frame stern fisher type junk in Hong Kong harbour
A port quarter view of an Aberdeen frame stern fisher type junk at anchor in Hong Kong harbour. The tops of her main and mizzen masts are out of the picture, her lug sails are stowed fore and aft and she has fishing nets hanging over the stern rail to dry. The port number 42HC (there may be further numbers before the 4) is on the stern and above it is a faintly discernible 1262AC. The port side forward is not in the picture. 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.
