The name of the pier can be read, the name of the company is a bit difficult. However, I think it reads: Hong Kong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company.

Shows Harbour office (4th generation), Wing On Department Store and Hong Kong Macau Ferry Wharf (second generation) .

Update 2022-01-16: Sun Department Store opened in 1912. On this photo it looks as if the Sun building is under contruction. Therefore the date should be 1910/11 and not the 1920s.
