View of Hong Kong harbour, ca. 1907

Submitted by Charles in Shanghai on Sat, 2019-05-04 03:18

Dear reader,

A photo album on which this photo is on the cover, is from 1918. Gwulo member moddsey helped me establish a date for this photo: ca. 1907. On the left John's Cathedral can be seen and in the centre and right there are the Naval Yards, with a new dockyard being finished in the centre.

A vague number 218 has been painted to the negative of the photo (lower left), which style might reveal the maker. Any suggestions?

Kind regards,

Pieter <Read more ...>

AESAREA-CAESAREA ex British Rail Cross Channel ferry-1982

1982

A long way from its origins.

I photographed this apparently derelict ferry in 1982. It was moored in the outer harbour.

Built in Cowes, Isle of Wight, UK in 1960 as the CEASAREA for the British Transport Commission as a cross-channel ferry to be operated by British Rail.

It took this role principally on the long distance Weymouth-Jersey, Channel Isles route, but also operated on the shorter sea crossings to Boulogne and Calais. <Read more ...>
