The Ichang was one of the Shanghai Steam Navigation Co.'s steamers, named after the city of Ichang (now called Yichang). On the far left is the old French Consulate; and next to it, the Messageries Maritimes. The building in the center, behind the ship, is sometimes identified on old postcard views as Melchers & Co. On the right is the Gutzlaff Signal Pole. Below it, barely visible, is the bridge over the Yangjingbang (上海洋泾浜). At far right is one of Fogg's two buildings, at No. 1 The Bund, in the International Settlement. In the background can be seen the steeple of St Joseph's Catholic Church.
