Section 2: Crossing the Harbour

As the population grew, travels across the harbour also increased. This led to the rise of cross-harbour transportations such as ferries and motorboat, catering to the demand for crossing the Victoria Harbour since late 19th century.

市场部

Traditional lighters were unable to meet the growing demands of cargo shipping after the post-war period. Tugboats and barges become the major vessels to facilitate the efficient movement of goods in Victoria Harbour.

The opening of the Cross-harbour tunnel in the 1972 had a profound impact on passenger ships industry. Walla-Walla was diminished, while other vessels like ferries repositioned as a cultural and tourist experience. Nowadays, modern vessels such as cruises and container ships appear more frequently in Victoria Harbour, bringing a new scenery on the horizon.
