点评:The Gem Pier which is 145 m long is a historic pier that goes back to 1839 when it was called "The Jetty" and in 1853, "The Old Pier", and in 80's and 90's, "The Steamboat Pier". In 1870 it was renamed "the Gem Pier" after the paddle steamer "The Gem" that departed the pier for Port Melbourne. It is now the home of the museum ship HMAS Castlemaine. It provides great view of the Melbourne skyline (and the dock area to the west) across Hobsons Bay. As a young yachts man, I can vividly recall the filming of Stanley Kramer's 'On The Beach) on this pier with Ava Gardiner and Gregory Peck in deck chairs as I sailed between the Gem Pier and the Royal Victoria Yacht Club jetty. It has changed a little.
翻译:宝石码头(Gem Pier)长145米,是一座历史悠久的码头,其历史可以追溯到1839年,当时被称为“码头”(The Jetty);1853年,它被称为“老码头”(The Old Pier);在20世纪80年代和90年代,它被称为“汽船码头”(The Steamboat Pier)。1870年,它以从这里出发前往墨尔本港的明轮船“宝石号”(The Gem)的名字重新命名为“宝石码头”。如今,这里是博物馆舰“卡斯尔梅恩号”(HMAS Castlemaine)的所在地。从这里可以欣赏到霍布森湾对岸墨尔本天际线(以及西侧的码头区)的壮丽景色。作为一名年轻的游艇爱好者,我至今仍清晰地记得斯坦利·克莱默执导的电影《海滩》(On The Beach)的拍摄场景,当时我正驾驶着游艇往返于宝石码头和皇家维多利亚游艇俱乐部码头之间,而艾娃·加德纳和格里高利·派克就坐在甲板椅上。如今,这里已经发生了一些变化。
