Overview

The Wayfoong steam launch was built in Hong Kong in 1930 as a slightly altered replica of her 1898 mothership. Commissioned as a workboat by the HSBC, she was famously used for “burning picnics” throughout the thirties, when the junior staff of the bank’s Note Cancellation Department would burn bag-loads of old bank notes as fuel in the boiler room furnace. After disappearing during the Second World War, she was recovered in Canton in 1945, stripped of much of her planking, which had been used as domestic fuel, and needing a complete refit. In 1948, her steam engine was replaced by a new diesel engine and she resumed her commission, towing cargo junks and carrying bullion to and from ships anchored in Victoria Harbour. Other duties included transporting currency to Hong Kong’s outer islands and transferring bank executives to ships moored in the harbour. In her later years, she was also used as a recreation boat for junior bank officers.
