On board a Fukien trader type junk anchored at Shaukiwan, Hong Kong. The photographer is on the port side amidships looking forward showing windlasses on either side of her mainmast. Her sails are stowed fore and aft and most of her fore and main masts are out of the picture. A number of baskets are on deck in the foreground and a large jumble of rope is abaft her foredeck.
