A two masted Twaqo type junk berthed bow-on to the shore at Singapore

A starboard very near broadside view, taken from only just ahead of the beam, of a Twaqo type two masted junk berthed bow-on to the shore at Singapore. The swim headed bow has an occuli. A thin pole mast set at the bow is sloping forward and the lug sails are stowed. The lower part of the tiller operated rudder is perforated. A foot plank connects the boat to the shore.
