Title: Waiting to board the Rajula.
Description: Passengers being checked before boarding the British India Steam Navigation Company's 'Rajula' (1926, 8478 GRT), presumably at Madras. The 'Rajula' carried mail and passengers (she could accommodate up to 5000 passengers, mostly on deck) between Madras and Singapore from 1927 to 1973, apart from a stint as a Royal Navy Personnel Ship during World War II. She was named after a small town near the southeast coast of the Kathiawar Peninsula, Gujarat, north of Bombay.
