Jones Bay Wharf (also known as Jones Bay Finger Wharf or the Port of Sydney's Berths 19–21) is a historically important wharf on Jones Bay, a small bay at Pyrmont, Sydney, New South Wales. The wharf was completed in 1919, and in the 21st century has been converted to modern business spaces.[1][2]
In the early 20th century, Jones Bay Wharf served both freight and passenger liners. It was an important point of embarkation for troops during World War II, and a major point of arrival for immigrants after the war.[citation needed]
The wharf is home to the Jones Bay Marina, a facility for superyachts in and visiting Sydney.[3]

A proposal from the Australasian Steam Navigation Company for the construction of a wharf at Jones Bay was published in the Government Gazette in 1854,[4] but the wharf was not built until much later; it does not appear on the City of Sydney 1903 map.[5]
The Sydney Harbour Trust took over responsibility for waterfront planning and built out the Jones Bay Wharf area in 1911–1919.[1]
