Hi Jürgen, Thanks. 54 years ago when I took this photo I was hoping to capture the contrast between the old maritime world and the new. Now, as you say, they are both the old world.
Cheers, David

Hello David,
spectacular shot. Very old with centuries behind it and a vessel of an ending aera, becoming soon obsolete, probably not seen the day you took the foto, in peacefull combination...
Thanks for posting Jürgen

Must see www.global-mariner.com , a fabulous site created by ex C/E Karsten , Dan, who served many years on these "china traders". An illustrated journey to the good old days..(before damned globalization).
