In Hong Kong, vessels come and go. In the past hundred years or so, Hong Kong has put on a million faces, having evolved from a small fishing village into a prosperous entrepot, and then into the current state as a global financial centre. Throughout the growth of the local economy, shipping has grown along as well. Once the major economic backbone of Hong Kong, the shipping industry has adjusted itself time and again to adapt to the ever-changing world. Today, shipping in Hong Kong is no more as prosperous as it was, and yet the harbour that has nurtured Hong Kong over a century is still dazzling and thriving.
