Trincomalee in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) has a wonderful natural harbour and when I sailed with the shipping company Thos and Jno Brocklebank Ltd was usually the last loading port in Sri Lanka before the return voyage home to the UK. Large ships when loading were required to anchor in the harbour as there was only a small jetty invariable used by local sailing boats of which the men captured in this photograph were the crew of one such vessel. The image which admittedly is of poor quality and covered in mould was taken in 1966.
