One of the unconverted Star Ferries that looks to be still burning coal.  In the background a large cargo liner(?) is moored alongside what I think is the pier closest to the Star Ferry pier at Tim Sha Tsui.  I cannot make out what the large structure is behind the liner - the dark side might(?) be the ships funnel but what is the other, lighter coloured bit?  Is the whole thing a gas holder or an oil storage tank?

I have added this photograph of the Star Ferry with Hong Kong in the background. Taken from another ferry. I suspect the photograph may have been taken in the early 1930s

It looks as though this ferry, with itsenclosed section midships, was using the old star Ferry pier just prior to the new pier being opened - unless it was out of commission awaiting a refit.

Star ferry bus terminus & Kowloon wharf entrance interloper

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos):

We have never seen a locomotive using the transfer track betewn Kowloon wharf and the KCR terminus, which is what I presume this this is.

The small car in the backgound is very similar to one that appears in a number of 1930s RAF Kai Tak pictures
