Notes

University of Bristol - Historical Photographs of China reference number: Sw08-184. G W Swire referenced each negative in this album with the prefix H written in India ink. This negative is referenced H76. The album itself has also been archived at some stage with the reference 62/VI. The steamship is a China Navigation Company coaster in wartime colours, and could be TAIYUAN or TSINAN of 1930 (which were both both on the coastal express run between Hong Kong and Shanghai) - or maybe either ANKING or ANSHUN?
