A starboard side view, taken from ahead of the beam, of the Amoy fisher type junk 1658 anchored in Chinese coastal waters, specific location unknown. Her sails are stowed fore and aft. She has an occuli on her bow and 'painted ports' along her hull. The tops of her fore and main masts are out of the picture. A similar craft is on the left. 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. This type of craft has also been described by Waters as a 'Chuan Chow trader' and a 'large liner fisher'.
