This week’s video explores the second of the two 1909 panoramas I received recently. The photos that make up the panorama are sharp enough that we can see details as far away as Lai Chi Kok, even though the photographer took the photos from mid-levels on Hong Kong island.
(Please click here to watch the video on Youtube if it isn't shown above.)

hulks
On the panorama, two hulks can be seen. HMS Tamar near the Naval Dockyard, and another one near the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter. The latter looks like HMS Meeanee. On Wikipedia it is referred that this ship was broken up in 1906, but this is obviously incorrect.
