LING TONG

In 1927 a ship called TJILEBOET stranded on a small island called LING TONG.  Does anyone know the current name and preferably be able to show me a map of Hong Kong where the island is located.  Guidance the ship was on her way to Singapore.

Reclamation means this isn't an island any more, but its southern shore is still in the sea. It is the only piece of natural shoreline for a considerable distance in either direction.

Hi all, my first post here. Can anyone identify where this photo was taken?

It was uploaded by H. Grobe to the Wikimedia Commons under a free licence with no information attached other than the date, 1965. I've been trying to add the location, but I'm stumped!

I have poked around numerous locations on Google Earth including Aberdeen, Wah Fu/Cyberport, Tuen Mun, island east, Tsing Yi, Sai Kung...but nothing stands out in particular. Made more difficult by the reclamation and the fact that these buildings have likely been redeveloped.
