The extremely long wooden dragon boats were some of the most elegant boats that I have ever seen. Do any still survive?

Re: Photo
Given that Green Island can be seen behind, I guess one is looking at the Chung Sing Benevolent Society Bathing Pavilion off Victoria Road where the Dragon Boat races were held. A photo from 1958 of the Governor attending the races can be viewed here
That sounds just about spot
That sounds just about spot on. I have a feeling that it was a swimming pavilion.
