Celebrating the Arrival of Sir Catchick Paul Chater in 1860
2024-03-30
In a specially extended Hong Kong Heritage Annemarie talks with history researcher Liz Chater and antiquarian Jonathan Wattis about Sir Catchick Paul Chater, the Armenian teenager who arrived in Hong Kong from Calcutta on April 1 1864. He was a pioneer in reclamation and really was a founding father of modern Hong Kong. He also had a collection of paintings, many of which have disappeared. But a book of his collection still exists.
Every week, journalist, broadcaster and local historian, Annemarie Evans, explores Hong Kong, digging up many (often forgotten or unknown) aspects of our cultural, architectural, and artistic heritage.
