Jumbo Floating Restaurant, Aberdeen (Hong Kong)

Jumbo Floating Restaurant, Aberdeen (Hong Kong)

Ah, this sad story.  After years with no tourist custom allowed, and closure, Jumbo may (or may not) have been sold but was definitely towed away to an unknown destination, rumoured to be Cambodia, in 2022.  Along the way, it either did or didn’t hit a reef near the Paracel Islands, and either did or didn’t sink.  We were told only that it “capsized” and that salvage would be “difficult”.  If you think this description is confusing, you should have seen the news reports.  Two unused 5″ x 7″ cards 076 from the Tourists Cards series are available.  Grades: 1
