Hong Kong in the 70's & 80's

One of our new members on our Flickr site has shared these amazing picture of Hong Kong in the 70's & 80's  These amazing images have been shared by degahk.  Many thanks for sharing them.

This image is the M.V. Hai Xing in Hong Kong Harbour.  This picture is amazing I think because of the scale of the shipping in the picture.  A modern Cargo ship (modern in the 80's) and a Junk whose design has not changed for hundreds of years.

Herald of Free Enterprise

Is it really 23 years since the Herald Capsized? I still remember clearly where I was actually. I was on my way to the Gym that night.
I was only 17 years old. The weird thing was, I knew the Herald...I had sailed on her at least 3 times. I used to live in Germany & we would sail to the UK to visit family regularly......

MS ZUIDERDAM

I completed 5 contracts on the Zuiderdam from 2003 to 2006.  She was the first Vista Class vessel built for Holland America Line.
