Can tell the exact date of this photo viewed from Hong Kong across to Kowloon: 25th March 1936

The Empress of Britain normally sailed the Atlantic between Quebec / Southampton but did its annual round-the-world cruise from Southampton in its winter months starting from December. It arrived in Hong Kong from Manila 20th March 1936 and left Hong Kong 25th March 1936 for Shanghai.
