Nice find! Especially like the turtles swimming in. Labeling "today" is simply too confusing.

Article Translation:
南丫公數天前發現了一件好特別的 T-shirt，就是背後印有舊時南丫島的全島地圖！經過一點研究，發現其圖是出自一本叫《今日南丫》的書，1965年出版！是由吳灞陵所寫的；以下是一點比較有趣的重點：

1. 榕樹灣 <-> 中環小輪每日對開五次
2. 榕樹灣 <-> 索罟灣對開—五次，加上一條由鹿洲去香港仔的漁船街度
3. 發電站就當然不在，可是就有蝙蝠居住的「張保仔洞」；聽聞區議員余麗芬，學生時代的周潤發和其親戚有在這洞探索
4. 連接榕樹灣和索罟灣的行人道不存在，只是未開發的泥沙道
5. 凌角山沒有現在的水泥行人道；索罟灣到模達灣的路也不存在
6. 一條由籚鬚城環走南南丫島到東澳灣的泥沙路，還有數條已棄置的道路
7. 籚鬚城附近的海龜沙灘
8. 南丫石礦場不在；可見那部份的土地都是填海回來的：那邊的湖也是"造"出來的
9. 日軍時期的「藏金洞」！就在現時快建城的污水處理站附近

Did anybody find some other interesting spots on this map, items that don't exist anymore or new ones not there yet in 1965?
What are some more of the big and small changes in the last 47 years?

The Chinese name of Mt. Stenhouse was "Lamma Mountain" in the map.
I guest its called "Shan Tei Tong" or "Yam Shan" today?

Interesting

I have to admit though, I did initially think that there would be photographs from Bob when I clicked on the link, but then realised Bob's not that old LOL Apologies.

Am waiting for a Lamma Island photograph from the 'early years' I know who has the best photo's too. .....

There are loads of old Lamma photos on this website, from numerous photographers, way back to more than 50 years ago. There have been quite a few little exhibitions in YSW of these photos over the years at traditional events and in the Primary School.

Bob Davis has a few really nice ones, but he's lived here "only" for 20+ years, I believe? So for really old ones you have to ask the indigenous residents growing up here, for example Chairman Chan who's been showing some ancient YSW photos on TVB again a few days ago.

That Lamma tourist guide book above has quite a number of photos from the 60s, but you can't take it out of the library as it's pretty fragile and rare.

We're working on writing captions on a big collection of Lamma photos from the 60s and 70s I borrowed from an indigenous Village Rep, scanning them. They are mostly back from his young days when some local village boys were big into Kung fu, even acting in movies, looking like Bruce Lee lookalikes pushing their tractors tilling the fields of almost all rural North Lamma, attending the Tin Hau Festival, going out fishing, getting married, etc.

More historic Lamma photos are always welcome.
