I put the link to this hydrographical sea chart on the thread connected with Plover Bay. However I thought it deserves an image in its own right on Gwulo as the names are so evocative, e.g. Crooked Harbour, Port Shelter, Rocky Hanrbour and the Nine Pin Group of islands, and I'm not sure if they still exist. There's also a nice little glossary of Chinese to English geographical terms. From the information given, I believe the chart was from the 1906 British Survey but not printed till 1912 and then reissued by the US during World War 2.

I've uploaded these photos from WR Fell's 1928-1929 album which must be contemporary with the recreational small boat trips to the nearby Plover Cove that the officers took, sometimes with friends from shore and which relate to the photos labelled "Plover Cove".
