Hello Michael:
Here is a Kodachrome 25 slide of the Tai O chain / rope ferry taken in June
1975.

I am guessing that your photo was taken close to where I was standing but at
90 degrees anti-clockwise.
I have about 60 other scanned slides of HK taken in the 1971 / 75 period and
I will send you the URLs off list.
John
