Bedside Table by cdcook48

Bedside Table

One last image from Britannia Shipyards Heritage Site. This is a mock up of what the bedside table of an indentured Chinese cannery worker might have looked like. They were crowded into bunkhouses and had little to no privacy. This small box beside his bunk has a small tea cup, chopsticks, a comb and a picture of his wife whom he would most likely never see again. The letter is probably from her.

If interested, this is a view of the bunks. https://365project.org/cdcook48/extras/2023-06-17
Beautifully captured, what a life these poor workers must have had.

Excellent capture and still life. The lighting is perfect. I can't imagine how difficult life was for the workers.

Great job capturing this slice of history and seeing the bunks really helped me understand how little space each worker had.

This is a beautiful, poignant shot. Life must have been so hard for these men and the families they left in China.
