The Emeraude was an elegant paddle wheeler that doubled as cargo and
cruise vessel in early 1900s. Owned by one Paul Roque, the Emeraude
plied the Ha Long Bay area and was one of the very few ships there that
had electricity, ventilation and even refrigeration. In 1937, the Emeraude
collided with a submerged rock and sank into the ocean, never to be
found again. Old photographs of the original Emeraude in its heyday
capture the romance of a bygone era and provide an insight into the era
and an understanding of the port and how its dwellers lived in the past.
  Years later, a replica of the Emeraude plies the same waterways of Ha
Long Bay, bringing travellers up close and personal with the renowned
karst formations of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
  Jacques Le Fur, the current captain of the new Emeraude, talks about
the history of the place and the steamer in this pictorial based on a set of
images taken by Rene Masse.

                                                                    Stephane had enough links to form a chain of memories

  • 3. The Emeraude was an elegant paddle wheeler that doubled as cargo and cruise vessel in early 1900s. Owned by one Paul Roque, the Emeraude plied the Ha Long Bay area and was one of the very few ships there that had electricity, ventilation and even refrigeration. In 1937, the Emeraude collided with a submerged rock and sank into the ocean, never to be found again. Old photographs of the original Emeraude in its heyday capture the romance of a bygone era and provide an insight into the era and an understanding of the port and how its dwellers lived in the past. Years later, a replica of the Emeraude plies the same waterways of Ha Long Bay, bringing travellers up close and personal with the renowned karst formations of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Jacques Le Fur, the current captain of the new Emeraude, talks about the history of the place and the steamer in this pictorial based on a set of images taken by Rene Masse.

  • 5. “Every now and then in my job as captain of the Emeraude, I come across a passenger carrying some link to our vessel’s history.  When I met one Stephane Masse, who had called us about a set of photographs he’d just inherited from his grandfather, I expected to find one or two new things we could add to the Emeraude’s story. As it turned out, Stephane had enough links to form a chain of memories that went back a whole century.  The photos Stephane showed us were taken by his grandfather, Rene Masse, who was one of four children born into the Masse family in Hai Phong in the early 1900s. At the age of 16, Rene took a job with the local electric company.  From the images and what his grandson told us, we figured out that as a young man, Rene’s hobbies included hunting deer, joining the city’s social dances, and apparently, photography. Rene’s camera captured the Hai Phong of another era, just as the town hit its ABOVE: A boatload of French tourists on excursion in Ha Long Bay. stride as an international port.
