Hong Kong Tai-Pan : I believe this is where the Sogo department store is located now, correct? I can see the advertising sign of DaiMaru department store at the middle right of the photograph.

Oriental Theatre 1970's

Wikipedia states: "Tora! Tora! Tora! (Japanese: トラ・トラ・トラ) is a 1970 Japanese-American war film that dramatizes the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941."

So I think the image dates to about 1970/71.

HUD-Hydrofoils + Jetfoil + base of hammerhead crane-1972

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1972

Two Hydrofoils and one Jetfoil on maintenance support frames.

It’s interesting how deep under the water the foils would have to be.

With the Jetfoil present when I took this picture, originally in colour, from a passing HKY ferry in 1972, it means that Jetfoils are still serving Hong Kong now for at least 44 years.

Also of interest is the base of the hammerhead crane securely anchored to the pier which we don't normally see images of.
