Gershom Stewart moved the motion "that in the opinion of the Council it is advisable to increase, if possible, the means of shelter for cargo boats and sampans during the typhoon season," the completion of the harbour of refuge was commemorated in the laying of a stone by Sir Francis Henry May,* then Governor of Hong Kong.

It stands at the southern end of the detached breakwater and the inscription commemorating the event is still clearly legible.
