On board a Swatow trader type junk alongside other junks near a wharf at Kowloon, Hong Kong. The photographer is looking forward showing the foremast and a windlass. The bow and the decking appear to be badly damaged and a note in the photographer's album reads "Burned by Japs 1937". A number of people are on the stone wharf in the background. 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.
