The first generation of the Sham Shui Po Ferry Piers was built at Tung Chau Street off Pei Ho Street (todays Tung Chau Street Park). Wikipedia reports that it opened in 1924.
It was operated by HYF and provided services to Jubilee Street Pier in Central as well as Wilmer Street Ferry Pier in Sai Ying Pun. (Wikipedia reports that the service to Sai Ying Pun stopped in 1979 when the Wilmer Street Pier was destroyed by a typhoon).
In 1979, the pier was closed because of reclamation works and was relocated to Yen Chow Street.
