A stern view of two different types of Amoy trader junks anchored together at Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong
A stern view of two different types of Amoy trader junks anchored together at Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong. Both junks are three masted, their sails are stowed fore and aft and they both have perforated rudders. The vessel on the left is port number T1179H and also has the number 277 of her hull. She appears to be smaller than the junk berthed against her starboard side. 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.
