This is the latest Jurors List we're making searchable - here's how to join in, it'll only take around 20-30 minutes of your time.

We'll take the previous year's spreadsheet, then work through it page-by-page and edit in any changes so it matches this year's Jurors List.

Step 1. Check the comments below to see which was the last page someone has started typing. You'll work on the next page. eg if the last comment is "started page 15", you'll be working on page 16.

Remains of crocodile in a Hong Kong restaurant

Submitted by Richard Muirhead on Thu, 2014-05-15 18:41

I found a reference on  a Chinese language web site  a few months ago which I translated into very poor English and it seemed to refer to the remains(maybe only the head) of a crocodile caught in Hong Kong. A long time ago I think.

Does anyone know more?

Japanese Vessels Sunk in or near Hong Kong 1942-1945

Submitted by ssuni86 on Wed, 2014-05-14 21:54

I've updated this list based on further research.  It should be more complete than the previous version of the list, but it is still not definitive.  That said, a brief newspaper report (perhaps from the SCMP) circa 1945 reports that a preliminary survey of wrecks in the harbor found 53 wrecks total, including 19 large ships.  (This clipping is posted elsewhere on Gwulo.)  My list below totals 19 large ships, which suggests the list must be getting reasonably accurate.  I have not listed smaller vessels, which would account for the other wrecks.
