A photograph of the port of Hong Kong in 1873. Taken from a high vantage point that views the land on the left and water on the right side. A wharf bisects the photo into two. Several auxiliary steamships are docked to the wharf. Deep waters and the natural shelter of mountains, like the one seen in the right background of the photo, make the area an ideal for all vessels.
