Chapter 1 : Port Out
Primary tabs
The first chapter doesn't really have much until the very end, and even then it is observations rather than places he actually visits.
Initially he mentions seeing a small village next to a golf course (we believe it is most likely to be Shek O).
Their ship - the Corfu - came into Victoria Harbour via the eastern entrance as he points out a shipyard and a large factory complex. One of the factories had "Taikoo" written on it.
He also notes a "large cube of a grey stone building" (perhaps the Peninsula?) as well as an "ornate clock tower" - obviously the KCR TST Terminus.
He mentions a mountain looking like one of the lions around Nelson's column - Lion Rock - and of course HMS Tamar.
Feel free to start adding photos and context to the above, don't forget the initial chapters occur in 1952.
