　碼頭位於佐敦道與渡船街交界，於1933年啟用。此碼頭提供往中環的載客及汽車渡輪航線，亦提供往灣仔的載客渡輪。未有海底隧道之時，此碼頭十分擠擁。

　碼頭前為多條九龍市區及新界的巴士線之總站。其左方有一政府及軍部的船塢。

　1995年，碼頭拆卸，渡輪航線亦取消，這裡進行填海，新填地即為「西九」的地段。

Jordan Pier, c.1955

　The Pier was on the intersection between Jordan Road and Ferry Street. The Pier provide vehicular and passenger ferry to Central and passenger ferry to Wanchai. Before the Cross Harbour Tunnel opened in 1972, this Pier was crowded with cars and people.

　Beside the Pier was a bus terminus. On the left were docks of the Government and the Navy.

　The ferries cancelled and the pier also demolished in 1995 for reclamation. The reclaimed land is the "West Kowloon" lots nowadays.
