This photograph depicts a Japanese seaman on the Mitsui Line cargo ship YAHIKO MARO, probably in Darling Harbour, with two dogs and a litter of puppies.For more information see Patricia Miles' article https://anmm.wordpress.com/2016/08/31/little-shipmates-seafaring-pets/ in Signals 82, 2008, pp 34-35.
