The HMS Rawalpindi (left) was a British armed merchant cruiser (a converted passenger ship - as it was at the time of this photograph - as the P&O vessel the SS Rawalpindi) that was sunk in a surface action against the German battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau during the first months of Second World War. On the right is the Hikawa Maru - a Japanese ocean liner that was built for the Nippon Yusen KK line by the Yokohama Dock Company. She was launched on 30 September 1929, and made her maiden voyage from Kobe to Seattle on 13 May 1930. Date: circa 1931
