The original wharf at the end of Victoria Road in Devonport was known as the Victoria Wharf, and was built in the 1870s. When what is now the main Devonport passenger ferry wharf was built alongside it in the early 1900s, the Victoria Wharf was used by the vehicular ferries. Both wharves still exist and are in use today. The main passenger ferry wharf is now generally referred to as the Devonport Wharf, although it should be noted that this name was also sometimes used to designate Duder's Wharf to the east(on King Edward Parade, opposite the end of Church Street). Duder's wharf was built by the Duder brothers to handle coal deliveries for R. and R. Duders Brickworks in Ngataringa Bay, although it also took passenger ferries until 1908. It was dismantled in the 1930s. View of the Auckland waterfront from Victoria Wharf, Devonport, looking south with Mt Eden in the distance, center right.
