The 'Gun Plot' website has a good history of the China Fleet Club, including this information about its construction & opening:
Blake Pier was built on Connaught Road at the end of Pedder Street, and opened in 1900. The Report of the Director of Public Works for 1900 said:
This pier was roughly where One IFC stands today. The pier was operated by HYF (The Hongkong and Yaumati Ferry Company Limited).
It was originally built for the new vehicular ferry service between Hong Kong island and Kowloon, but several passenger ferry routes also used berths at this pier.
Originally established in 1911 as a social and sporting club for British officers in the HK Garrison. Now turned over to civilians.
