1963 - The pier opens for business. Initially it handles the Hung Hom - North Point ferry service that moved here from the pier off Gillies Avenue.

1975 - The Hung Hom - Wanchai ferry service also moved here. That service previously ran from the adjacent pier, slightly southwest of this one.

1979 - This pier is closed. Both ferry services move to the new pier, near to the KCR turntable.

1963: The pier opens for business. Initially it handles the Hung Hom - Wanchai ferry service operated by HYF (The Hongkong and Yaumati Ferry Company Limited).

1975: HYF moves the Hung Hom - Wanchai ferry service to their other pier, a short distance northeast of this one. Star Ferry then rent this pier from HYF, to use for the Star Ferry's Hung Hom - Central ferry service.

Finally found its location from page 210 of Mapping Hong Kong, at the approximation of Tai Ho Road and Yeung Uk Road.

Before 1997, this pier is primarily being used by visiting foreign service men.  I remember the Mac Yuck there is the only one serving Beer in town.  I would have to go and check this out and see if the pier had already be reclaimed later.
