Comments

from "Queen's Statue Pier (zero-th Generation)" to "Queen's Statue Pier / Wharf", as Queen's Statue Wharf is used on contemporary maps.

Also added map, and guesses for dates based on:

  • 1900 - some time after the reclamation was completed
  • 1922 - some time before the initial phase of Queen's Pier was completed in 1923

The Hongkong Government Gazette 12th October 1895 refers:
