香港海港歷史相片講座

以下內容只提供英文

Mr David Bellis, the founder of Gwulo.com Gwulo: Old Hong Kong and the author of Old Hong Kong Photos and The Tales They Tell, will host a talk at Hong Kong Maritime Musuem. David will use historic photos from his collection to show us Hong Kong’s famous harbour through the eyes of several very different groups. The Royal Navy, local fishermen, dragon boat racers, visiting tourists, swimmers, and sailors are just some of the people we’ll meet.

Most of the photos were taken in the early years of the 20th century and show a Hong Kong that has long since disappeared. They have been scanned at high-resolution and digitally restored, so David can zoom in to present their details and uncover their hidden stories.

The books written by him will be available for sale at the talk. Purchase if you are interested, and don’t miss the chance to ask David for his autograph!
