Wan Chai and Kellett Island, Hong Kong, c.1920.
View of Wan Chai and Causeway Bay prior to the East Praya Reclamation which began in 1921. markets for the proposed reclamation can be seen in the Bay. The East Point promontory and Jardine, Matheson & Co.'s warehouses are in the centre. Kellett Island, named after Commander H Kellent of the schooner '' Starling'' (in the early 1840s), is seen on the left. A fort was constructed on it in 1841 and battery in 1854, later converted into an ammunition magazine. The East Praya reclamation, in the 1920s, would shorten the channel between it and Hong Kong Island. After the 2nd World War, Kellett Island would be taken over by the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, and in the 1960s it would be joined to Hong Kong by a causeway.
