Hong Kong Hotel (1880s)

Text on Flickr:

One of five photographs from Hong Kong in our family collection. John Mitchell Dunlop was based there for a short while during the early 1880s, and qualified as a ship's engineer during that period. He later settled in Bangkok, becoming manager of the Bangkok Dock Co.Ltd..

Remark: JM Dunlop worked for Blue Funnel Line at Holt's Wharf.

Probably also from the Pun Lun Studio.

Robert or John Mitchell Dunlop, Hong Kong 1870s

Photo by Lai Afong, approx. 1875

Text on Flickr:

Possibly Robert Dunlop 1848 -1909 or John Mitchell Dunlop 1858-1939, sons of James Dunlop (see photo 1). Both Robert and John Mitchell worked as a ship's engineers in the Merchant Navy during the 1870s and 1880s, as did their youngest brother William, and like them, travelled extensively, as did Andrew (see photo 50) as a master mariner.
