William Silva arrived in Shanghai in 1927. He took many photographs and sent them back to a family friend who kept them all these years.

That family friend's son contacted chinamarines.com and donated the collection of photographs to appear on this site.

chinamarines.com extend a very big thank you to the
Day family for sending in these photographs.
