The Hong Kong Macau Ferry Wharf (second generation) [1900-c.1958] should be the long one (only partly visible) west of the Harbour Office.

Is that the Tai Loy at berth?

I zoomed the Sheung Wan waterfront photo of the berthed ferry and believe she is the "Tai Loy". Built by Wing On Shing shipbuilders at Cheung Sha Wan in 1950 and renamed "Chung Shan" in 1968 when a number of the old Macau ferries including the "Fatshan" and "Takshing" (renamed "Tung Shan") were sold and consolidated into one company Tai Tak Hing & Co Ltd
