Sutherland Street Pier
Klaus, a big Thank You. The Sutherland Street Pier (D) was located right at the Sutherland - Connaught West junction. Grandpa's office was the 5th unit to the left on this photo. I think when ownership changed, the pier's name also changed. My boat from Guangzhou might have used it or one nearby. Regards, Peter
Triangular Pier
During the 1940s my grandfather, Lui (or Lu) Ming Choi, lived at 12 Des Voeux Rd West, which I believe is the triangular building near the Triangular Pier (Wing Lok Pier or Macau Pier) labelled B in the photo. During the war he conducted regular business in Macao, so this was a very convenient location. It also allowed him to avoid saluting the Japanese soldiers each time he disembarked the ferry, which he was forced to do when living in Kowloon, a practice he deeply resented.
Edit: 12 Des Voex Rd West is opposite the triangle shaped building.
Re: 12 Des Voeux Road West
Looking at the 1954 survey sheet on hkmaps.hk, 12 Des Voeux Road West was on the left side of the road, opposite to the triangular building near Wing Lok Pier. Nevertheless, still only a few steps to walk from the pier.
Yes, you're absolutely right…
Yes, you're absolutely right. I realise this as soon as I posted. Thanks for pointing it out!
