Von Buddenbrock Sketches at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum

Apr 27, 2021

There's something special about sketching at history museums...especially at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum where Illustrator Andreas von Buddenbrock combined drawing and learning.

During Andreas' visit, a couple of pieces caught his eye; The "Torpedo" log (1857), the Imperial Chinese Nav. Officer's Dress Sword (1830), and the Carriage Clock (late 1800's). Last but not least, the French Destroyer "Le Fronde" (1902-1920) was damaged by a typhoon in the Hong Kong Harbor on September 18, 1906. The Fronde was later salvaged and then repaired.
