Tai Pak floating restaurant, Castle Peak 1960s

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1960

The white arc-deco building in the left background is still there. It was used as a Boy's Home in the 1990s. In the 1980s a floating restaurant type vessel was moored out in Castle Peak Bay with two large 7Up advertising logos on it. I believe it was used as a fishermen's community centre as well as some sort of restaurant.
