This is exactly where some pretty big ships were dismantled,scrapped etc.Actually some of the 'furniture' from some vessels was well received by some units( to decorate their own leisure facilities!).

Junk Bay
I travelled to HK on the ss Canton in 1962. She sailed up to Taiwan and returned to Hong Kong to be scrapped in Junk Bay later the same year. The furniture, cutlery, mattresses, carpets etc. came up for sale 'on site'. The carpet from the doctor's surgery served me for many years and I stll have some cutlery including salt & pepper pots, mustard pots etc.
SS CANTON Scrapped
I remember my Dad obtained 2 large armchairs that were brought to our
flat at St.george's court for use.I also have a silver seviette ring with the
P&O Canton logo on it.
