Taken from the Star Ferry Terminal in Central. 

The two arrows indicate the two blocks of Ferry Point Estate. When these blocks were built, they were directly at the waterfront.

Boris Milenko, who was living at Kowloon at the time, is at far right, with Nicholas Tonoff and Jim Volgin second and third from left, respectively. The other three people remain unknown.

Exact location also unknown, however, there is a huge banner behind them with the word "STUDIO". The day must have been fairly cold for Hong Kong - all wearing coats or jackets. The photo was printed at Kowloon in 1940/41.

Sometimes "temporary" is pretty permanent.

Approaching Kowloon 1974

Submitted by Klaus on Sun, 2017-08-20 00:09

This is a good intermediate image. Cosmopolitan docks are already replaced by Cosmopolitan Estate, but Hong Kong Ship Yard still exists.

I think, Sham Shui Po Ferry Pier is just visible near the engine.
