Cosmopolitan Dock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cosmopolitan Dock (traditional Chinese: 大同船塢) was one of the major dockyards in Hong Kong. Founded in 1880 and located on the exterior of former Tai Kok Tsui peninsula in Kowloon, the dockyard belonged to then-British owned Hutchison Whampoa. The dockyard was transformed to Cosmopolitan Estate by the head of company Douglas Clague in 1974.

On 16 January 1945 during the Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong in World War II, the dockyard was bombed by aircraft of the United States[1].
