The Old Seafarer, a photo from Jakarta Raya, Java

Photographer's Note

Sunda Kelapa is the original port in Jakarta built by the Dutch, and the old part is still by traditonal Phinisi wooden trading schooners to move goods between Jakarta and other parts of the archipelago.

This old guy was taking a beak whilst his ship mate did some essential maintenance.

Hi, Richard,
Fine portrait of the old man from Jakarta. Good report photo. I think he is not so old, but anyway they have not a pension renta. And they must to work until they can... IMHO.
Regards,
Serghei
