Wilmer Street Ferry Pier | 1931 | 1979 | On Connaught Road West, east of the junction with Wilmer Street in Sheung Wan 22.2885°N 114.145°W | The pier provided services to Sham Shui Po and from 1950 onwards also to Aberdeen, Cheung Chau and Tai O. It was constructed from reinforced concrete extending about 80 feet seaward from the shore. The space between pier and sea wall was spanned by a steel bridge. On the bridge ferry offices and a covered waiting area for passengers were built. The pier opened at the end of 1931.[1] The Hong Kong and Yaumati Ferry Company (HYF) used the pier for the service to the Sham Shui Po Ferry Pier.[2] After the war, the ferry service between Sheung Wan and Sham Shui Po was resumed in 1950.[3] In 1951, additional ferry services to Aberdeen, Hong Kong — Cheung Chau and Aberdeen — Tai O started.[4] The pier was severely damaged by Typhoon Hope in August 1979 and it was decided that expensive repairs should not be undertaken, since the Western reclamation works had started already. The Wilmer Street/Sham Shui Po service was cancelled[5] and the pier was removed in 1981. | |
