【與我們一起慶祝世界海龜日 🐢🌊 Celebrate World Sea Turtle Day with Us!！】

在6月14日（星期六），香港海事博物館與香港城市大學海洋動物影像解剖研究組 @aavlab2014 攜手舉辦本年度首個海龜實體工作坊「好龜宿: 從海龜的衣食住行育樂開始」。

這個工作坊反響熱烈！🌟 一群來自東亞地區的海龜科學家和保育人士，與100位海洋愛好者聚在一起，深入探索海龜生態的迷人世界。海龜不僅可愛，牠們對我們海洋的健康至關重要，幫助維持如海草床等重要生態系統。在亞洲，海龜象徵著長壽和祝福，是人類藝術和文化的靈感泉源。🎨✨

但海龜正面臨著棲息地喪失、污染和誤捕等嚴重威脅。在這個 #世界海龜日 #WorldSeaTurtleDay，讓我們大聲呼喊：「人類朋友，我們需要你們的幫助，來拯救我們免於絕種！」 🆘

重新與海洋建立聯繫吧！來讓我們認識、保護海洋及多樣化的生物。🌊💙 香港海事博物館積極通過沉浸式學習體驗，鼓勵大眾認識海洋科學。快來參觀我們的海洋科學展廳，並透過教育工作紙，與綠海龜媽媽米亞一起了解人類與海洋之間的微妙關係。

📢請密切留意我們的海洋科學活動，並參與保育行動，共同創造一個可持續的未來！🌍💪

On June 14 (Saturday), the Hong Kong Maritime Museum (HKMM) is thrilled to team up with Aquatic Animal Virtopsy Lab from City University of Hong Kong for our very first “Sea Turtle Workshop: From Nest to Shore”!

The workshop was a hit! 🌟 A fantastic group of renowned sea turtle scientists and conservationists from the East Asia Region gathered with 100 ocean enthusiasts, ranging from children to adults, to dive into the fascinating world of sea turtle ecology. These amazing creatures are not just adorable; they are vital for our ocean's health, helping to maintain ecosystems like seagrass beds. In Asia, turtles symbolize longevity and blessings, inspiring art and culture all around us. 🎨✨

But sea turtles are facing serious threats from habitat loss, pollution and bycatch. This #WorldSeaTurtleDay, let’s hear it loud and clear: “Human friends, we need your help to save us from extinction!” 🆘

By re-connecting our bond with the ocean, we are motivated to understand and protect the ocean and the diverse marine life. 🌊💙 HKMM is dedicated to making marine science engaging and fun! Come visit our Marine Science Gallery and join Mother Green Turtle MIA in our educational worksheet to discover the intricate relationship between humans and the ocean.

Stay tuned for more exciting marine science programs and join the conservation movement for a sustainable future! Let’s make waves together! 🌍💪

【🦋是「蝴蝶」來襲，還是「海龍王」發威？Is the Wutip Coming or the Dragon King of the Sea Getting Angry?】

2025年的第一個颱風「蝴蝶」🌀 正在襲擊香港，帶來強風和降雨，讓市民的日常出行變得不便。根據傳說，海龍王不僅是海洋的主宰，還掌握著天氣，經常興雲佈雨。當暴雨或乾旱等極端天氣來臨，人們常認為是龍王在發威，以懲罰眾生。難道最近是海龍王心情不佳？⛈️

在中國民間信仰中，圍繞著國土的四方海域，各有一位大龍王，稱為「四海龍王」，分別守護著四個方位。在《封神演義》和《西遊記》等經典文學作品中📖，四海龍王的形象時常出現。無論是傳說、文學或是影視作品，龍王通常被描繪得威風凜凜，常見的形象是龍頭人身，充滿威嚴。🐲

📸
海龍王鐵像，明崇禎十一年（1638年）

The first tropical cyclone of 2025, Wutip, the Cantonese word for “butterfly”, has struck🌀, bringing strong winds and rain to Hong Kong and causing inconvenience for residents in their daily travels. According to legend, the Dragon King of the Sea not only rules the ocean but also governs the weather, often summoning clouds and rain. When faced with extreme weather such as heavy rain or drought, people believe it is the Dragon King unleashing his wrath to punish humanity. Could it be that the Dragon King is in a bad mood lately? ⛈️

In Chinese folk belief, each of the four seas surrounding the nation is ruled by a great Dragon King, corresponding to the four cardinal directions, known as the "Four Dragon Kings of the Sea." The images of these Dragon Kings frequently appear in literary works📖 such as "Investiture of the Gods" and "Journey to the West." Whether in legends, literature, or film, the Dragon King is typically portrayed as a formidable figure, with a dragon's head 🐲 and a man's body, showcasing his immense power and authority over the seas and weather.

【🌊水上的非遺】

漁民話（或稱「水佬話」）是水上人的日常方言，亦是專屬於他們的身份印記。

漁民話的語音與主流香港粵語相近，不過它有獨特的發音方法🗣。例如，它缺乏前圓唇元音，常見的例子包括「爽床」（原為「上床」）😴和「康港」（原為「香港」）。有時也會使用一些專有詞彙，例如「開新」（意思：出海捕魚）、「呔椅」（意思：釣魚）🎣。這些都是由他們的生活及工作習慣衍生而來的。儘管經歷世代更迭，今天香港的漁民群體仍有年長成員以漁民話溝通。

【漁民的「契爺」——朱大仙The “Godfather” of Fishermen - Chu Tai Sin】

提到香港的大仙，許多人立刻會想到「有求必應」的黃大仙。然而，對於部分港澳漁民來說，還有一位共同尊崇的「契爺」——朱大仙。✨

根據傳說，朱大仙是醫藥之神，並被認為是大禹的化身。水上人相信朱大仙能夠保佑航海安全，因此他們將其尊奉為「契爺」。🙏在面對重要事情時，漁民們會向契爺祈求「聖意」，並在船上⛵或家中設置他的神像，供奉祭拜，祈求保佑。

每年農曆五月中上旬，港澳漁民會在內港海面舉行朱大仙醮，祈求平安，例如香港仔合勝堂每年舉辦的朱大仙醮，活動內容包括灑淨、誦經、開印、大蒙山施食、供天、封印、金榜開光、水幽、過關、陸幽、讚星轉運、卜杯和送神等儀式。2014年，香港仔合勝堂的朱大仙醮被正式列入「香港非物質文化遺產清單」，這不僅是對傳統文化的肯定，也讓更多人了解這一獨特的漁民信仰。📜

想了解更多水上信仰的有趣知識，快來參觀香港海事博物館B層！

When it comes to Hong Kong's Tai Sin (deities), many people immediately think of Wong Tai Sin, known for his "wish-fulfilling" powers. However, for some fishermen in Hong Kong and Macau, there is another revered figure known as the "Godfather" — Chu Tai Sin. ✨

Legend has it that Chu Tai Sin is the god of medicine and is also seen as the incarnation of Da Yu. Fishermen believe he can ensure safe journeys at sea, and honor him as "Godfather." 🙏 When important matters arise, they turn to Chu Tai Sin for guidance, setting up his statue on their boats ⛵ or in their homes to offer prayers and seek his blessings.

Every year during the fifth lunar month, Hong Kong and Macau fishermen hold a ritual called the “Chu Tai Sin Jiao” in the inner harbor to pray for safety at sea, such as the Chu Tai Sin Jiao Festival organized by the Hap Sing Tong in Aberdeen. The festivities include cleansing, chanting scriptures, opening the seal, liberating the flaming mouths, making offerings to heaven, closing the seal, an enshrinement ceremony for the villagers’ name list, water ghost pacification, striding through the gates, land ghost pacification, praising the constellations to reverse fortunes, throwing divination blocks, and sending off deities, among others.

The ancestors of sea turtles first appeared on the planet🌍 around 150 million years ago. Being strong voyagers, sea turtles can travel thousands of kilometres between feeding grounds and nesting sites where they are born in the same beaches. This long-haul journey is, however, increasingly challenging in the face of the immense human threats, from habitat loss and pollution. Sea turtles are precious to the ocean and us. They play a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems, such as seagrass beds which support diverse marine life. Turtles also bear significant cultural meaning. Want to know more? 💡

【大碗飲酒的風尚——潘趣碗 The Fashion of Drinking from Large Bowls—The Punch Bowl】

在炎炎夏日☀️，何不來一杯清涼的潘趣酒（也稱為賓治酒）？這種由酒、糖、檸檬、茶和香料調和而成的飲品🍹，源自印度，後由東印度公司的船員引入英國，迅速風靡整個歐洲。而盛裝這種美味飲品的器皿——潘趣碗，隨之成為當時歐洲上流社會的必備之物。

潘趣碗是中國外銷瓷的一個主要品類，以其深壁大口的設計而聞名。這種獨特的形狀不僅便於飲用，還能充分展示精美的繪畫圖案🖌️，適合描繪複雜的場景和生動的故事。例如，專門描繪廣州十三行情景的「行碗」，碗身展現了十三行的全景。丹麥、法國、中國（清）、瑞士、英國和荷蘭的商行盡收眼底。十三行口岸的船隻匯聚，碼頭上熙熙攘攘的人群，生動反映了清代各國商人在十三行交易💰的繁榮景象。

歡迎前來香港海事博物館瞭解更多中國外銷瓷的知識。

2. 粉彩繪廣州十三行景致大瓷碗

Why not enjoy a refreshing bowl of punch on this scorching summer day? ☀️ This delightful drink🍹, made from a blend of alcohol, sugar, lemon, tea, and spices, originated in India and was later introduced to England by the crew of the East India Company, quickly becoming a sensation throughout Europe. The vessel used to serve this delicious beverage—the punch bowl—became an essential item among the European upper class of the time.

The punch bowl is a prominent category of Chinese export porcelain, renowned for its large and wide design. This unique shape not only makes it easy to drink from but also showcases exquisite paintings 🖌️, suitable for depicting intricate scenes and vivid stories. For example, the “Hong Bowl”, specifically illustrates the continuous scene of the Thirteen Hongs of Canton. It displays various multi-story buildings including the Danish, French, Imperial, Swedish, English and Dutch factories. The bustling ships at the port and the crowded docks vividly reflect the thriving trade 💰 between foreign merchants and Chinese traders in the Thirteen Hongs during the Qing dynasty.

Welcome to the Hong Kong Maritime Museum to learn more about Chinese export porcelain.

【「巨人」殞落 🚢 ⚓ Fall of the “Giant”】

1988年，「海上巨人」號在波斯灣的霍爾木茲海峽遇襲。船隻嚴重受損，原油洩漏引發火災 ⚓🔥，及後被評為「推定全損」，但這並非它生涯的終結。

📢「香港海事博物館賽馬會海事廣場」預計於2025年第三季正式向公眾開放！廣場的亮點之一是展示有史以來最大貨輪「海上巨人」號的船錨。另外，廣場還將設置展亭通道，以沉浸式藝術科技展示香港的海洋生物和歷年來的海上貿易船舶，敬請期待！

In 1988, Seawise Giant was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, Persian Gulf, sustaining severe damage that resulted in a crude oil leak and subsequent fire. ⚓🔥 It was later declared a "constructive total loss", but that was not the end of its life.

📢 The Hong Kong Maritime Museum Jockey Club Anchor Plaza is expected to open to the public in the third quarter of 2025. The plaza will showcase the anchor of Seawise Giant, the largest cargo vessel ever built, and will also feature a walkthrough pavilion with immersive ArtTech displays showcasing Hong Kong’s marine life and maritime trading vessels throughout the ages. Stay tuned!

【🐢「好龜宿: 從海龜的衣食住行育樂開始」工作坊 Sea Turtle Workshop: From Nest to Shore】

海龜在全球面臨多種威脅，例如漁具纏繞🎣、船隻撞擊、棲息地減少、海洋污染及非法貿易等。此外，全球暖化的影響亦不容忽視，如水位上升及海水溫度升高🌡️，可能導致海龜失去繁殖的沙灘及改變覓食習慣。

綠海龜主要棲息於熱帶與亞熱帶地區水域🗺️，並進行長途遷徙，往來其覓食及繁殖地。在香港出沒的綠海龜可游到南中國海及東南亞一帶水域，牠們於夏季時經常出現在香港東部及南部水域。

為慶祝今年的✨世界海龜日（6月16日），香港海事博物館將聯合香港城市大學海洋動物影像解剖研究組於6月14日（星期六）舉辦本年度首個海龜實體工作坊「好龜宿: 從海龜的衣食住行育樂開始」，屆時將由海龜專家為大家揭開海龜鮮為人知的秘密。

歡迎即時報名參加工作坊，從海龜的衣食住行育樂開始深入認識這群「龜中密友」。無論您是海洋愛好者，或對海龜充滿好奇，我們保證本次工作坊將兼具知識性與趣味性。請勿錯過這次難得的機會，一同了解並為海龜保育貢獻力量！🙋🏻‍♂️

📢活動費用全免，名額有限，先到先得，額滿即止！

Sea Turtles face many threats globally and locally, including fishing gear entanglement🎣, vessel collision, habitat degradation, marine pollution, and illegal trade in turtle products. Climate change is also a growing concern, as rising sea levels and ocean temperatures 🌡️ are affecting the species’ nesting beaches and altering their food sources.

Green Sea Turtle is a species of sea turtles widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical waters of the world 🗺️. They are known for long migrations, often traveling thousands of kilometers between their natal beaches and foraging grounds. Sea turtles found in Hong Kong can travel as far as to the South China Sea and Southeast Asia, and are often sighted in eastern and southern waters of Hong Kong in warm seasons.

In celebration of this year’s ✨World Sea Turtle Day (16 June), Hong Kong Maritime Museum will co-organize with Aquatic Animal Virtopsy Lab of the City University of Hong Kong our first “Sea Turtle Workshop: From Nest to Shore” on 14 June (Saturday). In conjunction with leading scientists in the field, we will unravel the mysteries of sea turtle life cycle.

「海上巨人」號在正式下水前曾被命名為「追浜」號，及後被董浩雲先生收購，以"CY" 的諧音更名為 “Seawise” Giant。在不同船東的管理下，其他較為人熟知的名字包括「快樂巨人」號、「亞勒維京」號及「諾克‧耐維斯」號。🚢每一個名字背後都隱藏著獨特的故事，為這艘「海上巨人」號的輝煌歷史增添了深厚的色彩。

Prior to Seawise Giant’s official launch, the ship was initially named Oppama. After Mr. Tung Chao-yung purchased it, the ship was renamed "Seawise" Giant, a phonetic play on the initials "CY'. Later, under different owners, it was known by other names, include Happy Giant, Jahre Viking, and Knock Nevis. 🚢 Each name hides a unique story, adding depth to the glorious history of the Seawise Giant.

The Hong Kong Maritime Museum Jockey Club Anchor Plaza is expected to open to the public in the third quarter of 2025.

Individual identification is an essential method in zoological research, typically achieved by analysing unique external characteristics of the target species, such as patterns, to distinguish between individuals. For otters, which exhibit low individual distinctiveness in external features, researchers at Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) used faecal genetic analysis 💩 to determine whether stool samples originated from distinct individuals. 🦦🦦 This approach further enabled the estimation of population size and movement range.

📢Safeguarding the last otters in Hong Kong (Talk, Cantonese only)

In celebration of this year’s World Otter Day, the Hong Kong Maritime Museum is delighted to host the research team from KFBG, who will share little-known stories of otter conservation. Want to learn more interesting facts about otters, master the skills to locate and identify otter stools, or even observe and smell them up close (reportedly with a hint of jasmine?!)

【便便竟然是水獺的身份證 🦦💩 Otters’ identity revealed in their stools】

個體識別是動物學研究的重要方法，通常會以目標物種的獨特外表特征，如身體的斑紋來識別不同個體。對於個體外表辨識度十分低的水獺，嘉道理農場暨植物園（KFBG）的研究人員就用了糞便基因分析技術💩來研究糞便樣品是否來自不同的水獺個體，進而去估算牠們的種群數量和活動範圍。🦦🦦

【水獺鏟屎官的日常 – 齊來辨「便」🦦💩 Otter Stool Search Squad – which ones are otter stools? 】

嘉道理農場暨植物園（KFBG）為了調查行蹤神秘的歐亞水獺，除了使用紅外相機監測、訪問漁民及居民外📸，亦會採集水獺便便來進行遺傳學分析，以獲取水獺種群數量和個體活動範圍等重要保育信息。便便越是新鮮，遺傳物質保存得越好，分析的成功率也就越高。💩🔥大家猜一猜照片中，哪些才是真正的水獺糞便便？🤔

答案：只有圖1、3、5是水獺的便便！當中圖3和5的便便比較新鮮，顏色是灰黑色中帶點綠；圖1則是比較舊的便便，風乾後變為淺色，但仍可以看到裡面的魚鱗和魚骨。🐟

而圖2、4、6都是鳥類的食丸（食繭）——鳥類吐出來、難以消化的食物殘渣。🐦當中圖2和4是翠鳥的食丸，圖6則是鸕鷀的食丸。因為翠鳥和鸕鷀也以吃魚為主，所以牠們的食丸也主要是魚鱗和魚骨。🐠但相較於水獺便便，這些食丸的形状呈橢圓形或球形，而水獺的便便比較接近「條狀」或鬆散不成形；另外，食丸的顏色多是白色或灰白色的。

📢守護香港最後的水獺 (講座)

在今年的世界水獺日到來之際，香港海事博物館邀請到KFBG的研究人員，分享鮮爲人知的水獺的故事。想瞭解更多水獺有趣知識，學習尋找和分辨水獺便便的技巧，甚至是近距離觀看和聞嗅（據説有茉莉花味？！），就不要錯過這次分享會！立即報名：🔗 in bio

Studying wildlife could sometimes get your hands dirty. In search of the elusive Eurasian Otter in Hong Kong, apart from using camera traps, interviewing local fishermen and residents, 📸 Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) is also conducting otter stool search. DNA analysis from the collected samples would provide scientific evidence for the size of the otter population and the whereabouts each otter lives. The fresher the stools, the more genetic information can be extracted from the samples. 💩🔥 🤔 Can you guess which of these are otter stools?

Answer: Otter stools are shown in figure 1, 3 and 5 – those in figure 3 and 5 are rather fresh, indicated by their dark muddy green colour, whereas the one in figure 1 is dry and in a lighter colour. Fish scales and bones are evident in all of these pictures. 🐟

The rest of the pictures (figure 2, 4 and 6) are in fact pellets from birds. 🐦Pellets are indigestible parts of a bird’s food that some bird species regurgitate occasionally. The pellets in figure 2 and 4 are from kingfishers, and that in figure 6 is from a cormorant. As these birds mainly eat fish, their pellets are also largely made up of fish scales and bones. 🐠But unlike otter stools that are either sausage-shaped or mushy, pellets are round or elongated lumps that are often white or grey in colour. Did you get it right?

【母親節特別祝福：珍藏的磁州窯「長命富貴」碗 Special Mother's Day Blessing: The Cherished Bowl with Characters "chang ming fu gui" (longevity with wealth and honor), Cizhou Ware】

今天是母親節💐，在這個特別的日子裏，向天下所有母親送上最誠摯的祝福：願你長命富貴！這句吉語，其實一直蘊藏在我們一件珍貴的藏品中——磁州窯「長命富貴」碗，承載著對使用者的美好期望。🍀

磁州窯，是宋元時期中國北方著名的民間窯場，以其白釉黑彩瓷器聞名於世。工匠們融合了傳統水墨畫和書法藝術🖌️的技法，創造出獨特的白底黑繪裝飾風格，鮮明的黑白對比使圖案生動醒目。

在宋代，磁州窯的文字裝飾相當流行。這些瓷器上常常繪制當時流行的詩詞、警句和散曲💬，充分傳達出人們的情感和願望。正如今天分享的這只「長命富貴」碗，運用民間喜聞樂見的詞語，表達了對生活的美好祝願，深受百姓喜愛。

在這個母親節，讓我們一起透過這件藝術品，感受那份歷久彌新的祝福，並將它傳遞給每一位母親，願她們的生活充滿幸福與富貴。

Today is Mother's Day💐, let’s extend our sincerest wishes to all mothers: may you enjoy longevity, wealth, and honor! This auspicious phrase is embodied in a treasured piece from our collection—the Bowl with the characters "長命富貴" (chang ming fu gui), Cizhou ware, which carries hopes for its users. 🍀

Cizhou ware is a renowned folk pottery from northern China during the Song and Yuan dynasties, famous for its white-glazed, black-painted ceramics. Craftsmen combined traditional ink wash painting and calligraphy techniques 🖌️ to create a unique decorative style of black on white, with striking contrasts that make the patterns eye-catching.

During the Song dynasty, text decoration on Cizhou ware was quite popular. These ceramics often feature poetry, and sayings 💬, conveying people's emotions and aspirations. The Bowl with characters "長命富貴" that we share today uses familiar and beloved phrases to express heartfelt wishes for a good life, making it a favorite among the people.

On this Mother's Day, let us experience the timeless blessings embodied in this piece of art, and share it with every mother, wishing that their lives are filled with happiness and prosperity.

【「拍拖」的典故 —— 和海事有關？💑✨ "Dating" —— Does It Have Ties to Maritime History?】

在廣東水路客運的「黃金時代」，有一種超有趣的大型客輪，名為「花尾渡」。然而，你可能不知道，「花尾渡」本身並不具備動力！它無法自主航行，必須依賴另一艘船來作為「司機」🚢。當時，通常是「小火輪」來拖著前行。

隨著客船航行到至下游地區時，河道變得越來越狹窄，拖的方式也隨之改變。此時兩艘船不再是前後相隨，而是並排前進，肩並肩地航行。它們之間用一條拖纜相連，畫面宛如兩條船相依相偎，隨著波浪輕輕搖晃，彷彿「情侶散步」的浪漫畫面！💑✨

因此，這個航運術語 ——「拍拖」，竟然成為了形容情侶戀愛的代名詞！更有趣的是，「相互分手」這一表達，也借用了小火輪與花尾渡中的術語 ——「斬纜」✂️，形象地表達出彼此徹底切斷聯繫的含義！這樣的起源，不禁讓人感到既浪漫又富有趣味。🌊❤️

想要深入了解更多海事知識，快來參觀香港海事博物館吧！

圖片來源：Wikipedia - 1880年廣州的花尾渡

During the "golden era" of Guangdong waterway passenger transport, there was a fascinating type of large ferry called "Cantonese Flory Stern Barge." But did you know? The "Cantonese Flory Stern Barge" had no power of its own! 🚤 It couldn't move by itself and needed another small boat to act as its "driver" 🚢.

When the ferry sailed downstream where the river narrowed, the towing method had to change. Instead of one boat pulling from the front and the other following behind, the two boats would move side by side, shoulder to shoulder 🤝. They were connected by a cable, creating a scene that looked like two boats leaning on each other and gently swaying with the waves, almost like a "couple taking a walk"! 💑✨
This is how the term "拍拖" in shipping became a metaphor for dating and romantic relationships! Interestingly, the term for "breaking up" also borrows from shipping terminology —— "斬纜" ("cutting the cable") ✂️. Isn’t it both humorous and poetic? 💕

【香港的水神崇拜：北帝The Worship of Water Gods in Hong Kong: Pak Tai】

香港地處廣東省南部，西背珠江口，南望南中國海，擁有約1180公里的海岸線。人們依水而生🌊，因此對海神和河神格外崇敬，形成了豐富的香港「水神」信仰系統🙏。除了廣為人知的媽祖（天后）這位水神外，「北帝信仰」在華南沿海地區也十分流行。

北帝，即真武大帝，也稱玄天上帝，是道教的北方之神⬆。根據陰陽五行學說☯，北方屬水，故亦被當作水神，保佑水路安全、風調雨順，並平息水患。香港的北帝信仰歷史可以追溯至十八世紀，至今仍有許多供奉北帝的廟宇🪔。較為著名的廟宇包括長洲的玉虛宮、梅窩的北帝宮以及灣仔的北帝廟。

農曆三月初三日是北帝誕，是北帝信仰儀式中最為盛大的活動🎉，並已被納入「香港非物質文化遺產清單」📜。在這一天，供奉北帝的廟宇香火鼎盛，部分社區，如長洲和梅窩，還會舉行慶祝活動。除了常見的準備供品、向北帝上香和化寶儀式，慶典中還包括醒獅、麒麟賀誕和神功戲演出等活動。

想了解更多水上信仰的有趣知識，快來參觀香港海事博物館B層！

Hong Kong is located in the southern part of Guangdong Province, facing the Pearl River Estuary to the west and the South China Sea to the south, with approximately 1,180 kilometers of coastline. As people live by the water🌊, they pay special respect to the gods of the sea and the river, forming a rich system of beliefs in Hong Kong's ‘water gods’🙏. In addition to the well-known water goddess Mazu (Tin Hau), the belief in Pak Tai is also widespread in the coastal areas of South China.

Pak Tai, also named Xuantian Shangdi, is the Supreme Emperor of the North in Taoism☯. Because the north belongs to water according to yin and yang and the five elements, Pak Tai is also regarded as the god of water who protects safe navigation, ensures good weather, and avoids floods. The belief in Pak Tai in Hong Kong can be traced back to the 18th century, and many temples dedicated to him still exist today🪔. Notable temples include the Yuk Hui Temple in Cheung Chau, the Pak Tai Temple in Mui Wo, and the Pak Tai Temple in Wan Chai.

The third day of the third lunar month is the birthday of Pak Tai, which is the grandest event 🎉 of Pak Tai worship and has been included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory of Hong Kong 📜. On this day, Pak Tai temples are filled with incense offerings, and some communities, such as Cheung Chau and Mui Wo, hold celebratory activities. In addition to common practices like preparing offerings and lighting incense, the celebrations also include Lion Dances, Unicorn Dances, and Cantonese Opera for Appeasing Gods.

👃嗅覺衝擊：海洋垃圾氣味

您知道充滿垃圾的海港是什麼氣味嗎？堆積在海洋中的垃圾因附著的細菌和污染物而產生難聞的氣味，讓我們一起反思保護海洋的重要性。

👀視覺震撼：

幻燈片機
透過幻燈片機，探索鯊魚、鯨魚和海豚等大型海洋生物的故事，了解人類活動對它們的影響，並思考如何保護這些珍貴的生物。

珊瑚桌
觀察氣候變化如何影響珊瑚生態系統，並了解保護珊瑚的重要性。透過互動展品，我們一起思考如何減碳，讓珊瑚重現色彩。🌈

【「海上巨人」號船錨有多重？⚓How Heavy is the “Seawise Giant” Anchor? 】

「海上巨人」號是史上最大的貨船，其船錨重量達到驚人的36噸，真正使其成為海中的「巨人」⚓️。那麼，36噸究竟有多重呢？想像一下，這相當於36輛私家車🚗🚗🚗的總重量！（假設每輛私家車重1,000公斤）這樣的數字讓人難以想像，「海上巨人」號在航行中拋下這麼重的船錨，必定是一幅壯觀的景象！🌊😲

📣「香港海事博物館賽馬會海事廣場」預計於2025年9月正式向公眾開放！廣場的亮點之一是展示有史以來最大貨船「海上巨人」號的船錨。另外，廣場還將設置展亭通道，以沉浸式藝術科技展示香港的海洋生物和歷年來的海上貿易船舶，敬請期待！

了解更多：🔗in bio

The “Seawise Giant” is the largest cargo vessel in history, with an astonishing anchor weight of 36 tons, truly making it as a “Giant” in the sea ⚓️. So, how heavy is 36 tons exactly? Imagine this: it’s equivalent to the total weight of 36 private cars🚗🚗🚗 (Assuming each car weighs 1,000 kilograms). Such a figure is hard to fathom; dropping such a heavy anchor while the “Seawise Giant” is sailing must be a spectacular sight! 🌊😲

📣The Hong Kong Maritime Museum Jockey Club Anchor Plaza is expected to open to the public by September 2025. The plaza will showcase the anchor of “Seawise Giant,” the largest cargo vessel ever built, and will also feature a walkthrough pavilion with immersive ArtTech displays showcasing Hong Kong’s marine life and maritime trading vessels throughout the ages. Stay tuned!

嘉道理農場暨植物園（KFBG）近年來在全港開展水獺調查，多次利用紅外線相機📹成功拍攝到野外歐亞水獺的珍貴影像，實屬難得！✨ 由於上世紀的大量獵殺和棲息地喪失，世界各地的歐亞水獺數量和分佈範圍大幅萎縮。在香港，歐亞水獺更面臨高本地滅絕風險，然而針對本地水獺種群的系統性研究與保育措施仍屬不足。作為頂級捕食者，水獺對維繫濕地生態系統的平衡至關重要，亟需對牠們展開有效保育和深入研究！

📣 在今年的世界水獺日到來之際🌍🦦，香港海事博物館邀請到KFBG的研究人員，在5月31日「守護香港最後的水獺種群」講座中分享鮮爲人知的水獺的故事。我們即將在博物館網站上更新更多資訊，敬請期待！✨

Otters are undeniably charming creatures, but did you know that Hong Kong actually has its own native otter populations? 🦦

Over the past years, Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) has been surveying otters in Hong Kong, successfully capturing rare glimpses of these elusive animals in different locations by using camera traps —an incredible find! ✨ Due to overhunting and habitat loss in the last century, the Eurasian otter populations have significantly declined across its range. In Hong Kong, the Eurasian otter is now considered at high risk of local extinction, yet systematic research and conservation efforts for the local otter population are still inadequate. As top predators, otters are vital for maintaining the balance of wetland ecosystems, making effective conservation and in-depth research urgently needed!

📣 In celebration of this year’s World Otter Day, 🌍🦦 the Hong Kong Maritime Museum is delighted to invite the research team from KFBG, who will share little-known stories of otter conservation at “Safeguarding the last otters in Hong Kong” talk on May 31. More information will be uploaded to our website soon. Stay tuned! ✨

【「汽車渡輪維港遊」精彩回顧 🎥 “Vehicular Ferry Cruise in Victoria Harbour” Highlights 】

在海底隧道建成之前，需要駕車過海的市民會乘搭汽車渡輪，並在船上吃一碗餐蛋麵🍜，欣賞維港景色。

2月9日，香港海事博物館與香港小輪（集團）有限公司合辦了「汽車渡輪維港遊」，讓大家有機會體驗駕車乘船🚗的感受，並於航程中簡介了香港渡輪的歷史，乘客在船上享用餐蛋麵，重溫昔日情懷。

未能親臨現場的朋友可透過短片，一同感受當時的熱鬧氛圍。✨

Before the Cross Harbour Tunnel was completed, those who needed to travel across the harbour would journey on the vehicular ferry and enjoy a bowl of "Meat and Egg" noodles🍜 on board while admiring the scenic Victoria Harbour.

On 9 February, the Hong Kong Maritime Museum and Hong Kong Ferry (Holdings) Co. Ltd. jointly organized the "Vehicular Ferry Cruise in Victoria Harbour,” offering the experience of boarding a ship while driving🚗. During the cruise, there was a sharing session on the history of Hong Kong ferry services, and passengers also enjoyed a light meal like "Meat and Egg" noodles, reminiscing about the nostalgic past.

Those who were not able to attend the event in person can review the highlights video and experience the fun and excitement together. ✨

【關於船錨的種類⚓Types of Anchors】

船錨的種類繁多，你對它們了解多少呢？⚓️

不同類型的船錨有著各自的用途，適用於不同的海床環境。例如，船錨是用於長時間停泊還是短時間停泊？⏳ 海床是否多石？對船錨抓地力的需求有多高？💪 這些因素都會影響船錨的選擇。

以「海上巨人號」的船錨為例，它採用了AC-14型船錨。AC-14型船錨，是一款經改進的無桿錨。其頂部沒有橫桿，中空的底部有寬闊的錨冠，兩側附有粗長錨爪，能提供高抓力的同時較同級的傳統無桿錨輕25%。所以，大型貨櫃船、汽車運輸船和超級油輪大型現代商船，包括「海上巨人號」也配備AC-14型船錨作為主錨。🚢

📣「香港海事博物館賽馬會海事廣場」預計於2025年9月正式向公眾開放！廣場的亮點之一是展示有史以來最大貨船「海上巨人號」的船錨。另外，廣場還將設置展亭通道，以沉浸式藝術科技展示香港的海洋生物和歷年來的海上貿易船舶，敬請期待！

There are many types of anchors — how much do you know about them? ⚓️

Different types of anchors serve various purposes and are designed for specific seabed conditions. For example, is the anchor intended for long-term or short-term mooring? ⏳ Is the seabed rocky? How much holding power is required? 💪 These factors all play a role in choosing the right anchor.

Take the anchor of the "Sea Giant" as an example — it uses the AC-14 anchor. The AC-14 anchor is an improved stockless anchor design. It has no horizontal stock near the top of the shank. It has a wide hollow crown at the bottom attached to long, thick flukes on either side of the shank that provides high-holding power while being 25% lighter than traditional models with the same class. They are commonly used as the primary anchor for large modern merchant ships such as container ships, car carriers, and supertankers, including “Seawise Giant.” 🚢

📣The Hong Kong Maritime Museum Jockey Club Anchor Plaza is expected to open to the public by September 2025. The plaza will showcase the anchor of “Seawise Giant," the largest cargo vessel ever built, and will also feature a walkthrough pavilion with immersive ArtTech displays showcasing Hong Kong’s marine life and maritime trading vessels throughout the ages. Stay tuned!

【⭐斷臂可重生的海星 Starfish Can Regenerate After Losing Arms】

隨著復活節的臨近，這個象徵重生與希望的節日讓我們思考「重生」的意義。你是否知道，這個概念不僅存在於宗教信仰或神話傳說中，甚至在海洋科學中也有相似的現象❓

海星，這種棘皮動物，身體通常呈現五輻對稱(pentaradial symmetry)，五條腕從身體中心伸出。海星是能夠再生的海洋生物之一，若其一條腕被切斷，經過一段時間便能重新長出💪。有趣的是，有些海星甚至會故意斷掉自己的腕以作為防御手段，以逃避捕食者的追擊。更為神奇的是，一些海星具備無性生殖能力，斷下的腕可以再生為一只完整的海星，這一過程展示了自然界的奇妙與韌性。

✨歡迎前來香港海事博物館，探索更多海洋生物的奧秘與知識！

As Easter approaches, this holiday symbolizing rebirth and hope prompts us to reflect on the meaning of "rebirth." Did you know that this concept exists not only in religious beliefs or mythological tales, but also in marine science? ❓

The starfishes (or sea stars), a fascinating echinoderms, typically show pentaradial symmetry, with five arms extending from its central body. Starfish are among the marine creatures capable of regeneration; if one of their arms is severed, it can regrow after some time.💪. Interestingly, some starfish even intentionally shed their arms as a defensive tactic to escape predators. Even more astonishing, certain starfish possess the ability to reproduce asexually. They can regenerate into a new starfish by just a body fragment! This process showcases the wonders and resilience of nature.

✨Visit the Hong Kong Maritime Museum to learn more mysteries and knowledge about marine life!

【"Outlaws of the Sea: Maritime Piracy in Modern China" Talk 📖】

(以下活動內容只有英文版本，不便之處，敬請見諒。)

In Outlaws of the Sea, Robert J. Antony provides a comprehensive account of the history of maritime piracy in coastal south China from the 1630s to the 1940s. He neither romanticizes nor maligns pirates 🏴‍☠️, but rather analyzes them in the context of their times and the broader world in which they lived. 🌏 The author demonstrates that Chinese piracy was a pervasive force shaping maritime society as it ebbed and flowed between sporadic, small-scale ventures and professional, large-scale enterprises in the modern era. This book offers important new insights into the underside of modern China’s history 📜 and the interactions between pirates, foreign traders, local communities, and the state. 🤝

This book is published under the Royal Hong Kong Asiatic Society Study Series with funding from the Ride Fund. (Source: https://hkupress.hku.hk/Outlaws_of_the_Sea)

【「海上巨人號」船錨：從貨船航行生涯，到座落中環 ⚓ Anchor of the "Seawise Giant"：From Serving as Part of the Cargo Vessel to Its Final Destination in Central】

近日，經過中環海濱的朋友們可能會驚喜地發現，全球最大的貨船「海上巨人號」的船錨⚓已正式座落於中環「香港海事博物館賽馬會海事廣場」！這個船錨是如何在香港找到棲息之所？而「海上巨人號」又有著怎樣的輝煌歷程呢？🤔

這個船錨重達36 噸，錨柄高 7 米，錨爪寬 4.45 米，厚 1.13 米，原連繫着長 20 節的錨鏈（1 節約相等於 27.4 米），是「海上巨人」號的核心部分🚢。這艘船曾經由香港航海業巨擘董浩雲所擁有，經歷多次易手和轉名，於35 年航行生涯結束後，最終於 2010 年在印度古吉拉特海灘被拆卸⚙️。後來，這船錨由本館榮譽主席何安逹先生（BBS）正式購入。在2010 年 6 月，有關單位排除萬難，把巨錨從古吉拉特移運到香港政府船塢暫存。這座巨錨重現了昔日的雄偉風采，並見證了香港航運發展的輝煌歷程。🌟

在 2025 年 3 月 27 日，這船錨正式從昂船洲政府船塢經陸路運到中環海濱，為廣場的開幕奏響了盛大的序曲。🎉

📣「香港海事博物館賽馬會海事廣場」預計於2025年9月正式向公眾開放！廣場的亮點之一是展示有史以來最大貨船「海上巨人號」的船錨。另外，廣場還將設置展亭通道，以沉浸式藝術科技展示香港的海洋生物和歷年來的海上貿易船舶，敬請期待！

If you've passed by the Central Harbourfront recently, you might have noticed the anchor ⚓ of the largest cargo vessel in history, the "Seawise Giant," now officially arrived at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum Jockey Club Anchor Plaza! How did this anchor find its home in Hong Kong? What remarkable history does the "Seawise Giant" hold? 🤔

This anchor weighs 36 tons , originally connected to a 20-shackles chain (about 27.4 m per shackle), has a shank height of 7 meters, a fluke width of 4.45 meters, and a thickness of 1.13 meters , making it a core part of the "Seawise Giant" 🚢. The ship was once owned by Hong Kong shipping magnate Mr. C.Y. Tung and underwent multiple ownership changes and renamings. After a 35-year sailing career⚙️, it was ultimately dismantled in 2010 on the beaches of Gujarat, India. Later, the anchor was acquired by the museum's Emeritus Chairman, Mr. Anthony Hardy BBS. In June 2010, relevant authorities overcame numerous challenges to transport the giant anchor from Gujarat to a temporary storage at the Hong Kong Government Dockyard. The anchor stands as a symbol of the vessel’s former glory, embodying Hong Kong's rich and storied maritime heritage. 🌟

【中式帆船的「花屁股」The "Decorative Stern" of Chinese Junks】

中式帆船的設計充滿智慧，兼具實用性和美學價值。其美學價值體現在船上的裝飾，如木雕、彩繪和船旗🚩等，這些元素不僅美觀，還常常反映了人們對平安豐收的美好祈願。例如，之前提到的船首「大眼睛」👀象徵著引領航行的希望。今天，我們不妨換個角度，來關注船尾的「花屁股」。🎨🖌️

由於福船、廣船、鳥船等船型的艉封板面積較大，這裡成為船舶裝飾的重要區域。船尾的彩繪多以展翅飛翔的大鵬和雄鷹🦅為主題，這些猛禽象徵著強大的威懾力，能夠驅邪鎮惡。加上五彩斑斕🌈的祥雲、花卉以及「吉祥如意」、「順風相送」、「福祿壽」等吉祥語，船尾彷彿成為一幅生動的藝術作品。

🔎歡迎前來香港海事博物館，深入了解更多船隻的知識！

📸
1. 明清時期（1368-1911年）福船模型
2. 十五至十八世紀琉球朝貢船模型
3. 明清時期（1368-1911年）廣船模型
4. 「耆英號」模型

The design of Chinese junks is filled with wisdom, combining practicality and aesthetic value. The aesthetic value is reflected in the decorations, including wood carvings, paintings, and flags🚩. These decorations are not only beautiful but often express people's wishes for safety and a bountiful harvest. For example, the "big eyes"👀 at the bow symbolize guidance of the journey. Today, let’s take a different perspective and focus on the "decorative stern." 🎨🖌️

Due to the large surface area of stern closure plate on types such as Fortune Junk, Canton Junk, and Bird Junk, this area becomes an important space for decoration. The paintings at the stern usually feature themes of soaring mythical birds like the Peng and Eagles🦅, which symbolize great deterrence and the ability to ward off evil. Accompanied by colorful 🌈 auspicious clouds, flowers, and phrases like " Auspicious Wishes," "Smooth Sailing," and "Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity," the stern resembles a vivid work of art.

🔎Welcome to the Hong Kong Maritime Museum to learn more about ships!

【第一艘電動渡輪「新明珠39」 🚢⚡The first electric ferry, New Pearl 39, began trials】

「電動車」大家一定不陌生，但你聽說過「電動渡輪」嗎？🌊

政府資助的首艘電動渡輪「新明珠39」已於去年12月底投入服務，率先在新渡輪航線試行，行駛北角至紅磡航線，可載約400人。現已進入第二階段載客測試，並已於今年3月31日起逐步增加載客班次，準備好來上一趟更環保的航程了嗎？🚢💨

電動渡輪具環保設計，包括輕量化船身、設太陽能板 🌞及8小時充電即可全天運作🔋，有試坐過的乘客和記者表示，開船時沒有傳統渡輪的噪音和刺鼻的汽油味。政府預留3.5億元推行24個月的先導試驗計劃，資助建造4艘電動渡輪及相關設備，其餘3艘由富裕小輪、珊瑚海船務及天星小輪營運。✨🌍

歡迎前來香港海事博物館，了解更多海事知識！

Have you heard of "electric ferries"? 🌊

The government-funded first electric ferry, New Pearl 39, began trials in late December last year. It is being trialed on the North Point to Hung Hom route under the Sun Ferry Line, with a capacity of around 400 passengers. Now in its second phase of testing, the ferry has been increasing trips since March 31 this year. Ready for a more eco-friendly journey? 🚢💨

The electric ferry features eco-friendly designs, including a lightweight body, solar panels on the deck 🌞, and the ability to operate all day with just 8 hours of charging 🔋. Passengers and reporters who have tried it noted the absence of traditional ferry's noise and the strong smell of fuel. The government has allocated $350 million to launch a 24-month pilot program, funding the construction of 4 electric ferries and related equipment. The other 3 ferries will be operated by Fortune Ferry, Coral Sea Ferry, and The Star Ferry. ✨🌍

We invite you to visit the Hong Kong Maritime Museum to learn more about maritime!

【「錨」：穩定與希望的象徵 ⚓ “Anchors”: Symbols of Stability and Hope 】

錨在各種文化和背景中一直是一個強大的象徵。傳統上，錨代表著穩定和安全，在動盪的海洋中穩住船隻🌊。這一象徵意義延伸到我們的生活中，錨象徵著在面對生活挑戰時所需的堅定和韌性💪。

此外，錨也常與希望和堅定聯繫在一起🌟。就像錨能夠固定船隻一樣，它提醒我們即使在不確定的時刻，也要保持穩定與希望。無論是紋身、珠寶，還是文學中的隱喻，錨以其永恆的力量和堅韌的信息，持續激勵和安慰我們。🌈❤️

📣「香港海事博物館賽馬會海事廣場」預計於2025年9月正式向公眾開放！廣場的亮點之一是展示有史以來最大貨船「海上巨人號」的船錨。另外，廣場還將設置展亭通道，以沉浸式藝術科技展示香港的海洋生物和歷年來的海上貿易船舶，敬請期待！

Anchors have long been powerful symbols across various cultures and contexts. Traditionally, an anchor represents stability and security, grounding ships amidst turbulent seas. 🌊 This symbolism extends to our lives, where anchors signify the steadfastness and resilience we need to navigate life's challenges. 💪

Moreover, anchors are often associated with hope and steadfastness. 🌟 Just as an anchor holds a ship in place, it reminds us to stay grounded and hopeful, even when faced with uncertainty. Whether it's a tattoo, a piece of jewelry, or a metaphor in literature, the anchor continues to inspire and reassure us with its timeless message of strength and perseverance. 🌈 ❤️

📣The Hong Kong Maritime Museum Jockey Club Anchor Plaza is expected to open to the public by September 2025. The plaza will showcase the anchor of “Seawise Giant," the largest cargo vessel ever built, and will also feature a walkthrough pavilion with immersive ArtTech displays showcasing Hong Kong’s marine life and maritime trading vessels throughout the ages. Stay tuned!

【🐳海上信仰與海洋生物：越南「鯨魚廟」Beliefs and Marine Life: Whale Temples in Vietnam】

前幾日，我們介紹了台灣澎湖的漁民將海龜視爲海上守護神，並在元宵節舉辦「萬龜祈福」慶典。在越南，漁民們同樣有著將海洋生物視為海神的民間信仰。

在越南漁民的心中，鯨魚🐋被視為海神，並被認為是出海捕魚時的救星。他們相信，只要有鯨魚在身邊，任何危險都能化險為夷。因此，越南中南部的許多海邊村莊都建立了專門供奉鯨魚的「鯨魚廟」。🙏

位於越南的Van Thuy Tu Temple建於1762年，被認為是該國最古老的鯨魚廟，寺內供奉著一具巨大的鯨魚骨架，長22公尺，估計活著時重達65噸，是東南亞保存最大的鯨魚骨架🦴。此外，寺外還設有一個鯨魚墓場，每當有鯨魚瀕臨死亡時，當地居民就會用吊車將鯨魚的軀體運至寺廟，並為其舉行莊重的葬禮。🕯️

想了解更多海上信仰的有趣知識，歡迎來參觀香港海事博物館B層！

A few days ago, we shared those fishermen in Penghu, Taiwan, regard sea turtles as guardians of the sea and celebrate the " Begging Turtle " in Lantern Festival. Similarly, in Vietnam, fishermen also worship marine animals.

For Vietnamese fishermen, whales🐋 are considered sea gods and saviors when they go out to fish. They believe that whales can help them avoid danger. Therefore, many coastal villages in central and southern Vietnam have established temples specifically dedicated to the worship of whales. 🙏

The Van Thuy Tu Temple, built in 1762, is one of the oldest whale temples in Vietnam. Inside the temple, there is a massive whale skeleton 🦴 measuring 22 meters in length and estimated to have weighed 65 tons when alive, making it the largest preserved whale skeleton in Southeast Asia. Additionally, outside the temple, there is a burial site for whales; whenever a whale is about to die, residents use a crane to bring the whale's body to the temple and hold a funeral for it. 🕯️

Visit B Deck of the Hong Kong Maritime Museum for more interesting information about the beliefs of sea people!
