Hong Kong - Workboat

Another of these typical and ubiquitous utility boats, seen in the Yau Ma Tei public cargo handling area. This one is special - appears to be a ghost ship or "Flying Dutchman" - I could not see anyone aboard, not even a helmsman...

 

These boats are used as "Water Taxis", small transport and whatever else comes to mind. Shot from the northern breakwater of the Yau Ma Tei typhoon shelter. Re-post of an image uploaded on August 23, 2008.
