The 1923 and 1962 nautical charts of the HK approaches shows that a pair of beacons were located on Bluff head. The same chart shows a pair of beacons are located on Ngan Chau, also on Magazine Island and the north side of Aberdeen harbour.
The beacons on Bluff Head and Ngan Chau are shown on a 1896 map, though the exact year of construction is unclear.
The 1925 Asiatic Pilot gives this information.
Beacons.—Two obelisks, each 30 feet (9.1 m.) high, have been erected toward the head of Taitam Bay and in range 358° lead 600 yards westward of Castle Rock.
