The Floating Tin Hau Temple was established by a group of fisherman who rescued the statue of the goddess “Tin Hau” (天后) from Japanese forces during the World War II. It has been docked at its current location since 1955; its exact year of construction, however, is unknown. (Source)

Notes from the AMO:

Tin Hau Temple, Joss House Bay, Sai Kung

The Tin Hau Temple located at the northern shore of Joss House Bay, commonly known as Tai Miu (literally, “great temple”), is one of the oldest and largest Tin Hau temples in Hong Kong. The inscriptions on the rock at the back of the temple suggests that the temple is linked to the Southern Song dynasty.
