Chinese Junk at Anchor, Pre-WWII China, 1930s
A traditional Chinese junk rides at anchor in this 1930s photograph, likely taken by a U.S. Navy sailor stationed in Chinese waters during the interwar 'China Station' era. Vessels like this were a common sight along China's coasts and rivers, and images such as this document the maritime culture Navy personnel encountered before the outbreak of World War II.
