Virtual forms are supplemented by miniature entities to attract citizens to visit
The Fishery Culture Museum mainly uses virtual exhibitions, supplemented by physical forms. The mini physical museum is located on the waterfront of Aberdeen, next to the Yung Shue Wan pier. It looks like a houseboat in the past.
If the public wants to enter the virtual museum, QR codes can be seen in many places along the Aberdeen waterfront, and they can be scanned to enter the museum website.
It is worth mentioning that, whether it is a physical or virtual museum, the public can enter and participate for free to experience the life and culture of fishermen.
On-site shooting of double tugboats, fish harvesting boats, home drying boats and kaozai boats
Fishermen's culture has a history of more than a hundred years. The online museum will display videos, photos, and texts. It will also be photographed on the spot on four types of fishing boats, including double tugboats, fish harvesting boats, drying boats, and kozai boats. An interview with an oral history of fishermen's culture by a regional person.
The skill of fishing yellow croaker, drying the skills of Kowloon hanging pieces, the oral history of fishermen
The content of the interview included everyone’s interesting sharing of knowledge and personal experience of the fishermen’s society. The topics revolved around the skills of fishermen in the past to catch yellow croaker, the disappearing craftsmanship of Kowloon hanging pieces, how to turn Aberdeen into a Hong Kong version of Tsukiji, etc. They are all quite interesting topics. I hope that the public can leave room for thinking about the development of fisheries after reading them.
There is also a physical mini-museum at the same venue, displaying brightly colored fisherman's hats for the public to "check in" and take pictures at the seaside.
Fishing industry will be hard to beat the giant ship of the times Chen Xuefeng expects the museum to preserve the most brilliant culture
Chen Xuefeng, member of the Legislative Council of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, said that Aberdeen used to be the top four fishing villages, but it will eventually lose to the advancement of the giant ship of the times. The number of fishermen has decreased one after another, and the fishing industry has been forced to transform.
He pointed out that most of the descendants of fishermen in Aberdeen today may not have been exposed to fishing and have no understanding of the fishermen’s life and culture. It can preserve the most glorious era of fishery and the community culture of fishermen on the sea.
