This map shares many similarities with the 1845 overlay already on the site, however it includes many details not shown such as the owners of different lots in the city.

Likely edited to add Lots & Buildings from subsequent land sales. There are some inconsistencies such as two different lots having the same number.

Jardine Matheson also bought Town Lot 42 in 1841 where Flagstaff House is today.

National Archive Reference: FO 925_2427_1842

Below is a list of the first land sale in 1841 and who purchased which lot and for how much

Map of Hung Hom Bay about 1990

Submitted by Klaus on Fri, 2016-12-23 02:24
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1990

A detail from a 1990 tourist map shown Hung Hom Bay. On the eastern sideare  two ferry terminals. Although the copy isn't really good, it can be read that the ferry lines on the north-western pier go to Wan Chai and North point, and from the south-eastern one to Central.

The ternimal on the western side has no information on ferry connections.
