Zooming in on the image “1978 Sheung Wan tram” I noticed a bucket dredger in the background.
It prompted me to look out some colour slides I took in July 1985 of a dredger owned by Gitanes Engineering Co. Ltd., part of the civil engineering division of Universal Dockyard Holdings UDL. From examining both images it is very likely that it’s the same dredger. Of modern appearance the vessel’s details and history are not known.
