Public Pier No. 17 - British Canton Line / Yuen On Steamship Co. Ltd [c.1924-c.1974]

Submitted by David on Fri, 2020-01-17 19:46
Date Place completed: 
c.1924-01-01 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)
Date Place demolished: 
c.1974-12-31 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)

1920s photos show it with a semi-circular sign for the "British Canton Line". There's a good example at PH014_50-22 Gertrude Bass Warner photographs.

Maps from the 1930s / 40s, eg plates 3-5a and 3-5b in Mapping Hong Kong, label it as "Yuen On Steamship Co. Ltd, P.P. no. 17".

Hung Hom Ferry Pier (1st generation?) [c.1903-c.1963]

Submitted by David on Sun, 2019-11-03 19:38
Date Place completed: 
c.1903-04-01 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)
Date Place demolished: 
c.1963-12-31 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)

I believe this was the first generation of ferry pier at Hung Hom, but please let me know if there was any earlier one. It was off Winslow Street, in front of the junction with Gillies Avenue.

Ma Tau Kok Road Refuse Boat Pier and Live Stock Landing [1936- ]

Submitted by David on Tue, 2019-10-15 22:15
Date Place completed: 
c.1936-07-01 (Day is approximate)

At the end of Ma Tau Kok Road there are the remains of an old pier.

Looking at the 1952 map, it's the nearest pier to the old cattle depot, so I wonder if it is where cattle deliveries by sea were unloaded? [Update: It was a combined refuse boat pier and livestock landing pier. See comments below.]
