Shipping treasures on the doorstep

Few places in Hong Kong sell classy, original, and interesting things any more, but one has popped up right under our nose in Central. It’s the shop attached to the new Hong Kong Maritime Museum. The museum sits on Pier 7 of the Central piers, next to the Star Ferry pier. One third funded by the government, the rest by its own endeavours and sponsors, the new museum is packed with features from South China’s seafaring history and fun high-tech gizmos, including a touch screen that locates any ship sailing in Hong Kong waters in real time.
