Description: |
Tracing its origins back to 1822 in Whampoa, the Mariners' Club in Hong Kong was established to meet a specific need for an Anglo-Chinese society defined by that most dubious of activities, seafaring. This is a history of one the most enduring institutions of Hong Kong, and the first of its kind. |
Synopsis: |
Tracing its origins back to 1822 in Whampoa, the Mariners' Club in Hong Kong was established to meet a specific need for an Anglo-Chinese society defined by that most dubious of activities, seafaring. This is a history of one the most enduring institutions of Hong Kong, and the first of its kind. Using the Club's own records as well as a wide range of sources both from within Hong Kong and from the seafaring world at large, this is a comprehensive account of the life of the missions, the tenancy of the different chaplains, managers and stewards, the changes in seafaring practices and shipping, and the transformation of Hong Kong itself. |
