Captain William Morgan, a ship's captain who may have been Jardine's Hong Kong manager, purchased Jardine's East Point site at the first Land Sale on 14 June 1841.
Captain Morgan also secured a town lot on which a bazaar was built (Jardine's Bazaar — not to be confused with Morgan's Bazaar near the barracks), and in addition he built a house on Caroline's Hill for himself which was known for a few years as Captain Morgan's Bungalow.
