Photograph showing some of the Yokohama branch staff outside the entrance to the bank's temporary office, following the devastating 1923 earthquake. A caption reads 'A. F. Handcock & Skeleton Staff who went with me on SS Tai Wayfoong to open temporary office Yokohama'. The 'me' probably refers to Robert Wright, Yokohama Manager, and he may have taken the photograph.
