On board a Canton salt junk anchored at Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong. The photographer is on the port side of the waist looking aft and slightly to starboard showing the foot of the mainmast, the rudder post and tiller and the poop. A shelter abaft the mainmast has a matting cover over it. All of the running rigging, the sails and booms have been unshipped and the tops of the main and mizzen masts are out of the picture. Flat and pitched roof buildings are 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.
