Comments
Early Kowloon view
This is a very interesting early view onto the Kowloon Peninsula. At that time, only a few larger buildings can be seen: Kowloon Wharves, Marine Police Headquarters, and the Observatory.
And, quite prominent, Robinson (Nathan) Road running diagonal from right to left.
The hulk could be HMS Victor Emmanuel.
