A Paddle Steamer For
Hongkong Harbour
BY ANDREW SLOAN
Resting on the slipway of a local shipyard is a rusty-looking hull of a 500-ton freighter, which in five weeks' time will become the star of the film, "Ferry to Hongkong," at a cost of HK$480,000. Under the skilled hands of a small army of shipwrights the rust-marked hull will be transformed into a paddle-steamer, reminiscent of the type of vessels which still ply their way up and down the River Clyde in Scotland.
