"Ferry to Hong Kong"

"Tung Shan"
Photographed in Macau's Porto
Interior, - the old inner harbour -, in 1973
(Photography © Karsten Petersen)
Classic steam ferry in the Hong
Kong - Macau service.
Shortly after I took these
pictures, the "Tung Shan" was scrapped in Hong Kong in 1974, - and another
unique maritime antique was lost forever to the fast hydrofoils that had
started to take over on the Hong Kong - Macau run.
When sailing back to Hong Kong
on the "Tung Shan", I asked if I could visit the engine room to see an
old steam propulsion plant in action, but unfortunately my request was
denied, - hence no pictures of the engine room, - unfortunately!
Built in Hong Kong in 1924,
as "Sai On", - Tons: 1950, - LPP: 68,8 m., - Beam: 12,8 m., - Propulsion:
2 steam turbines, - Speed: 13 knots

to "Tung Shan". Scrapped in January 1974.
