Soldier of Fortune - Clark Gable (1955) - Vehicular Ferry Pier, Yau Ma Tei

Also known as Jordan Road Ferry Pier because it was located at the westernmost end of Jordan Road in Yau Ma Tei - when it was still part of the waterfront (obviously...).


Of course, the ferry pier became a victim of the mass reclamation and was demolished in 1996. The West Kowloon reclamation has put paid to the aforementioned waterfront. The current location seen above is now occupied in part by Austin Station.

Soldier of Fortune was filmed in 1955, a few years before the Ferry Point Estate was constructed just to the immediate north of the ferry pier.
