Voyage Through Time
The Hong Kong Maritime Museum is presenting a collection of photographs taken in Hong Kong between the 1940s and 70s. These works by celebrated photographers Hedda Morrison, Brian Blake, and Edward Stokes capture Hong Kong’s harbour, port, shipping industry, maritime life, and boat people. In the 30 years after emerging from a long war, Hong Kong changed and grew into a vibrant city, and these photos show the spirit, grit, and energy of our people.
It’s particularly interesting to see slices of history like the dry dock at Taikoo Dockyard, which was able to take the world’s largest ships back then, the cityline of Victoria Harbour in the 70s, as well as glimpses of life like two boys paddling around on a makeshift raft. Entry to the Voyage Through Time exhibition is free, but access to the rest of the museum will cost $30.
