Hung Hom Ferry Mystery

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!

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
