A close view of the port bow of the Indian kotia type dhow Karimi (fl.1938) anchored at Colombo, Ceylon. The photographer is ahead of the bow looking aft and to starboard and everything aft of her foremast is out of the picture. The stern of the Royal Navy heavy cruiser Cumberland (1926) can be seen in the background and the photographer was taking passage in her from Singapore to the U.K. at the time.
