Hydrographic/topographic map entitled "Victoria Harbour [sic] and Approaches" (more completely: "Asia [/] South China Sea [/] Hong Kong [/] Victoria Harbour and Approaches [/] (Hong Kong Harbour) From British Admiralty charts to 1983." It was published by the Defense Mapping Agency Hydrographic/Topographic Center of Washington, D.C. This is the 17th edition, dated December 31, 1983, and numbered 93736. Much of the map is taken up with the northern part of the island of Hong Kong and one of the southernmost parts of mainland China. This includes Kowloon, which is on the mainland but forms part of Hong Kong city. The island of Tsing Yi Chau appears in the northwest section of the map. In addition to depth of water, which is labeled numerically, there are lines on the map (some of them purple) indicating waterways and areas of prohibited anchoring, anchorage for "Dangerous Goods," etc. Additional information includes a list of cautions; a compilation diagram; a glossary of equivalent Chinese and English terms; and what appears to be a guide to creating a grid.
