Update 2024-02-17: I've updated the completion date to c.1861, and the demolition date to 2 Sep 1871, according to the recent comments below.
Notes by gw:
This 1866 map shows Pedder's Wharf situated directly in-line with Pedder Street.
I believe this is the pier built by the British Army between 1901 and 1924, to give access to the Gough and Pottinger batteries. Read more at:
Long stone pier off N.K.M.L. 6. Labelled on a 1965 map on hkmaps.hk as N.K.P.P.No.7, think this is New Kowloon Private Pier No. 7. Year of construction is not precise, 1930 was estimated as the PWR for 1930 refers the completion of reclamation of N.K.M.L. 6.
Was probably used for the Mobil Tank Farm.
The pier was removed when the tank farm closed. It is still there on an aerial photo from January 1961, and gone on the one from January 1963.
This replaced the earlier pier that was a short distance to the north, in front of the main building of the Kowloon Wharves. It was very short-lived, as it was destroyed by a typhoon just a few months after it opened. The pier was rebuilt on the same site but to a new design, creating the 3rd generation Star Ferry pier.
Timeline:
This replaced the previous pier on this site, which was badly damaged in the 1906 typhoon.
Timeline:
Pier at DesVoeux Road opposite Gilmann Street and M.L. 54. It was used for river steamers to Canton.
Pier at Connaught Road opposite number 20 Connaught Road Central.
The pier appears on maps from around 1910, probably built earlier when reclamation works were finished. On the 1955 map on hkmaps.hk the name Ming Sang Wharf appears and the label Public Pier No. 19.
Appears still on the 1968 map.
Hung Hom Bay was reclaimed in two steps, the first ended in July 1989, the second one finally in December 1994. During the first phase, the 1979 Hung Hom Pier had to be demolished (done at the end of 1988), a new pier was planned and finally finished by November 1990.
For the intermediate period, a temporary pier was built. This pier was situated on a small piece of reclaimed land near Hung Hom Bay Centre off todays Hung Hom South Road, a pontoon was moored to the shelter/waiting rooms for boarding.
This ferry pier was operated by the Hong Kong and Yaumati Ferry Company Ltd, (HYF), for their services between Hung Hom and Wanchai, Hung Hom and North Point. It is shown at bottom right in the photo below.
