French maritime companies in Hong Kong 1918-1941
Dr. François Drémeaux, Honorary Professor, Department of History, The University of Hong Kong, is currently working on the presence of French companies in Hong Kong during the interwar period. He has kindly sent three charts showing a selection of these companies.
The first one shows: Les principales compagnies maritimes françaises à Hong Kong (1918-1941)
I have copied the company names below the chart so that we can add information if and when it comes in, or links to Indhhk articles when they are posted.
