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.

In 1902, a public auction was held to obtain "the right of erecting and maintaining piers over Crown Fore-shore". This was successful for three piers including the one " End of Sutherland Street". 

Estimated start of operation is 1903, end about 1980 when the next phase of reclamation started. On the 1945 map on Gwulo the name of the pier is given as Sai Kong Wharf.

This wharf was opposite Cleverly Street on Connaught Road. It appears first on the 1901.3 map on hkmaps.hk. The Public Works Report for 1899 refers: 

The Tai On Steam-ship Company are new erecting a permanent timber wharf at the foot of Cleverly Street.

Opened probably in 1900. Although the name Pasig does not apeear, quite likely this is the pier mentioned in the report.
