The low freeboard of the walla walla is evident as it sails through the choppy, congested waters of the harbour.
The FLYING ALBATROSS was a hydrofoil operated by the Hongkong Macao Hydrofoil Co. Built in 1964 by Cantiere Navale Rodriques of Messina Italy.

They might have been high-tech and glamorous when they were built, but by the time I took the hydrofoil to Macau in the early 80s, the boats were definitely shabby. Still, a pretty cool way to travel.
