Kowloon, New Star Ferry Pier (Hong Kong)

Our header for this entry is the unused card’s caption.  In the early 1950s, construction of the present twin-piered terminal commenced on both sides of Victoria Harbour, designed to handle 55 million passenger trips a year.  The structure was completed in 1957, concurrent with the Edinburgh Place Ferry Pier built on the island side.  So that helps to date the postcard’s use of “New”.  Grade: 1
