The stone dock is a sloping pier loaded with a stone, which now lies for the most part under Tryggvagata. The part that was previously under the parking lot next to the Customs House near Central Bakki in Reykjavik harbor has been made visible in connection with construction at Hafnartorg. The dock walked out of the Post Office Street near the house of Eimskipafélag Íslands. The stone dock was clearly visible until the Second World War. The Steinbryggan was originally built by the Reykjavík Municipal Fund in 1884 and was then very expensive, but was a improvement compared to the small wooden docks out of the Reykjavík Fjords lamb, which were privately owned by merchants. Nine years later, in 1893, the pier was damaged in the storm and Tryggvi Gunnarsson was hired to work on repairs. After that, the pier was often called Tryggvasker. Steinbryggjan was the first destination of those who came to the country after it was built and in the early 20th century. When Fridrik 8 came to the country in 1907 he went to land on the stone bridge. Thirteen years later when Kristján 10th King of Iceland and Denmark and Queen Alexandrina came to visit in 1921 they went to land on a red dragon after the stone bridge.
