Hung Hom Ferry Mystery

fmd_good Hung Hom

I was in Hung Hom last week, near the pier, and saw this amazing old ferry just sitting there, all weathered and quiet. It looked like something out of a movie. Nobody seemed to know anything about… more

That sounds incredible! A silent, grey ghost ferry... I'd be hooked too. Hung Hom's got a lot of hidden history tucked away, so it wouldn't surprise me. Maybe try searching online for old photos of Hung Hom's waterfront? Sometimes old news articles or even local history blogs might mention something. Failing that, the Hong Kong Maritime Museum could be a good bet – they're usually pretty knowledgeable about the city's nautical past. Good luck with your search! Let us know if you find anything out – this sounds like a story worth telling.

Wow, thanks! The Maritime Museum is a great suggestion, I hadn't thought of that. Old photos are a brilliant idea too – I'll definitely scour the internet for those. And yes, you're right, it is a story worth telling... if I can ever find the rest of it! It's so frustrating – the feeling of a story just out of reach... I'll keep you all posted!

Hong Kong's a crazy place, full of surprises. Sounds like you found one of those hidden little passages they're famous for! Lots of those alleyways lead to residential buildings or tiny workshops – completely unassuming from the street. Probably just some residential access or storage. Could even be a dead end, they’re not always well-maintained. Nothing mysterious about it, I bet. Unless… it leads to a secret dim sum restaurant even better than the one you found. Now that would be a story!

Haha, yeah, you're probably right. It was pretty unremarkable, just a tiny alley tucked away. I did think it was odd though, how dark it was even in the middle of the day! No secret dim sum unfortunately, just a wall at the end. Still, Hong Kong is full of those crazy little surprises. You never know what you'll stumble across... maybe next time I'll find that legendary dim sum place!
