EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the breathtaking scene of Hong Kong Harbour during the historic voyage of H.M.S. Challenger from 1872 to 1876. Funded by the British Government for scientific purposes, H.M.S. Challenger is believed to be the first expedition to carry an official photographer, documenting the world's oceans and coastlines in unprecedented detail. In this image, the Asian landscape of Hong Kong comes alive with its unique topography, as the harbour's tranquil waters reflect the vibrant colors of the surrounding buildings and mountains. The daytime scene showcases the picturesque Victoria Harbour, with its bustling activity and the impressive silhouette of HMS Challenger anchored outside. The maritime adventure of the Challenger expedition brought about groundbreaking discoveries in oceanography, geology, and biology, and this photograph is a testament to the beauty and wonder of the Asian coast and the vast expanse of the sea. A scenic and historic moment frozen in time, this image invites us to explore the rich history and natural wonders of the world's oceans and the far reaches of exploration.
