Date Place completed: 
c.1988-10-01 (Month, Day are approximate)
Date Place demolished: 
c.1991-03-01 (Month, Day are approximate)

Hung Hom Bay was reclaimed in two steps, the first ended in July 1989, the second one finally in December 1994. During the first phase, the 1979 Hung Hom Pier had to be demolished (done at the end of 1988), a new pier was planned and finally finished by November 1990. 

For the intermediate period, a temporary pier was built. This pier was situated on a small piece of reclaimed land near Hung Hom Bay Centre off todays Hung Hom South Road, a pontoon was moored to the shelter/waiting rooms for boarding.

For me it's a Star Ferry at the pier located at the end of Gillies Avenue. January 1963 it's still there and reclamation work in this area has not started yet.
