HONGKONG HABOUR 1910s vintage postcard.jpeg

Early 20th century colour tinted postcard "HONG KONG HABOUR" taken from The Peak. Unposted, but on the reverse is written "X marks where we are laying". On the front said X in faded ink can be seen on the left, plus the annotations "MAIN LAND" and ""DOCK YARD" suggesting the writer may have been staying on a ship in the harbour. On this copy I've annotated buildings I think I've identified through study of other Gwulo pictures  (and apologise for any errors as I'm no expert!)

 

I think the postcard may be in series with this one https://gwulo.com/atom/10793

Probably dated to the decade of the 1910s. The annotation of the Royal Naval Dockyard suggests the writer may have served on a HMS vessel moored in the harbour. 

 

A minor amendment. Under the GPO is the Queen's Building.
