The photographic journey charts the changes experienced by Star Ferry over 136 years of cross-harbour operations. It also explains why some ferries were named after celestial bodies - such as Venus, Morning Star and Evening Star - while other names were based on descriptive looks, such as Radiant, Twinkling and Shining.

The story behind the Star Ferry's logo is also revealed in the exhibition.
