Context: The liner Pasteur (1938-1957) ensured transfers between the various territories of Vietnam.
In the France-Africa-Indochina direction, it took charge of 24.2% of the workforce and 30% for the year 1954 alone. (Named thus by the godmother of the ship, married to the grandson of the scientist Louis Pasteur).
During the 1950s, approximately 3,000 tigers populated the “Asian Trio” (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos). Large international traffic of the feline species, and the anthropization of the land caused a massive decline in the Indochinese Tiger. There are about 150 left today. It is assumed that this tiger was captured/transported for exhibition purposes (zoos?).
