Hong Kong United Dockyards from the air. The orange coloured BARBER LINES cargo ship is in the drydock that now comprise the basement levels of the "Concrete Boat" in Shung King Street. The modern high rise was the dockyard's senior staff quarters. Containerisation is just creeping in at bottom right. China Light & Power's Hok Un Power station is top right. Image from early-mid 1970s. All very different now. IDJ
