HMS Bounty replica

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
2012

A replica of HMS Bounty that roamed the harbour in recent years has apparently disappeared.

A related website stated it had been de-commissioned

Is it still in Hong Kong? If so where?

Hopefully it hasn’t met the same fate as the Hilton Hotel’s popular WAN FU and become similarly landlocked as a bar or restaurant.

I originally saw this vessel operating trips for tourists in Sydney harbour.

Presumably it motored/sailed up to Hong Kong? If so, the story of the trip could be an interesting read.

I took this photograph to show how the Chai Wan Bay had changed since 1958. The wooded hill at centre left is the same one that was an 'island' in 1958.  (Andrew S)

Chuk Lam Ming Tong, Ping Shan 屏山

A building I stumbled across somewhere off the Light Rail between Tuen Mun and Yuen Long. Finally, after years of Googling "紀念堂 屏山", I found this blog post (http://blog.terewong.com/archives/8985), which explains that it is Chuk Lam Ming Tong, an elderly care home (www.clmt.org.hk) in Ping Shan.
