A Glimpse into the Past: Waterfront and Ferry Terminal, Hong Kong, Circa 1900 This photograph transports us back in time to the bustling waterfront of Hong Kong in the early 1900s. The image showcases the ferry terminal, a vital hub of transportation and commerce during the colonial era. The terminal is teeming with activity, with numerous sampans and junks moored alongside the larger steamships. The iconic Victoria Harbour, with its shimmering waters reflecting the vibrant cityscape, forms the backdrop of this scene. The towering European buildings, such as the elegant Customs House and the imposing Police Headquarters, stand proudly on the waterfront, symbolizing the British colonial influence. The photograph also reveals the rich cultural diversity of Hong Kong during this period. Chinese junks, laden with goods, jostle for space alongside Western steamships, while people from various ethnic backgrounds can be seen going about their daily activities. The hustle and bustle of the terminal is a testament to the thriving trade and commerce that characterized Hong Kong during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The ferries played a crucial role in connecting Hong Kong Island with the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories, facilitating the movement of people and goods. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing us with a unique perspective on the history and evolution of Hong Kong's waterfront and its role as a major global trading hub.
