Renamed from 赤寮 (ciah4 liao5) during the Qing era after irrigation was introduced.
Teochew linguist Lin Lunlun 林倫倫 writes instead that the original name was 粟寮 (ciah4 liao5, literally “grain hut”), also written as 赤寮 (ciah4 liao5), and that 穀饒 /谷饶 (gog4 riao5, literally “grain + plentiful”) is a roughly synonymous + homophonous modification of the original name.

Sugarloaf Island

The tidal currents set directly through Sugarloaf Channel, except northwestward of Sugarloaf Island where a branch of the outgoing current runs along the northern shore of the island.

1943, “PORT SWATOW”, in Sailing Directions for the Coast of China, U.S. Government Printing Office, →OCLC, page 524:

Luyu channel, south of the two islets Luyu (Sugarloaf island) and Muyu (Double island), is about 300 yards wide with depth of 6 to 11 fm. in the fairway; north of the islands is the less frequented Eastern channel with depths of 3½ to 8 fm.

1945, China Proper, volume III, Naval Intelligence Division, →OCLC, page 266:

Duly relieved, Edsall the next day stood out at 11:30, conned by a local pilot, Mr. Woods. She steamed down the coast past Sugarloaf Island, Good Cape Lighthouse, Bill and Green islands, and Breaker Point Lighthouse to anchor off South Nine Pin Island (Nam Kwo Chau), near the main shipping lanes, east of the British Crown Colony at Hong Kong.

Sugarloaf Channel
Sugarloaf Channel#English

(obsolete) An island in Sugarloaf Channel, Shantou, Guangdong, China, located in the Port of Shantou and having a lighthouse.


Double Island

At the entrance of the bay on which Swatow is located, there is a small island called Double Island, on which foreigners secured a foothold before the port was opened to the outside world.

1891 August, S. B. Partridge, “American Baptist Mission, Swatow, China.”, in The Baptist Missionary Magazine, volume LXXI, number 8, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 370:

In the 1890s, for no known reason, he took against his colleagues, the Swatow pilots stationed at Double Island, and would walk for miles along the coast to intercept incoming vessels before they could reach the official pilots.

1998, Frances Wood, “Private Life and the Social Round”, in No Dogs and Not Many Chinese: Treaty Port Life in China, 1843-1943, John Murray, published 2000, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 138:

In Shanghai we met a Christian captain who had been trading at Swatow. He made a strong case for the needs of that area. British merchants lived on Double Island, and sold opium.

2003, Hudson Taylor, “Called to Swatow”, in Looking Back: An Autobiography (Missions), OMF International, →ISBN, →OCLC, pages 84–85:

The truth, however, is that the Edsall was not then in the Amoy-Kulangsu area but instead spent all of the first half of May 1939 at Swatow (Shantou), China, well to the south. Anchored near Double Island, Edsall observed Japanese aerial attacks in support of their ground offensive in the region.

2008, Donald M. Kehn Jr., “Flushdeckers”, in A Blue Sea of Blood: Deciphering the Mysterious Fate of the USS Edsall, Zenith Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 43:

An island in Sugarloaf Channel, Shantou, Guangdong, China, located inwards after Sugarloaf Island and larger than it.


Breaker Point

SWATOW.
About the 1st of this month, the British barque Sally, Captain Tait, on her voyage from Newchang to, this port, became a total wreck, eight miles N.E. from Cupchi Point. On the 4th, the second mate of the vessel arrived here overland and reported the ship ashore at Breaker Point; in consequence of which H.B.M.’s gunboat Hart left on the Sth, and having gone along the Coast past Breaker Point to Tungoa Road, without seeing anything of the wreck, returned on the 6th.

1875 November 25, “Outports.”, in North-China Herald and Supreme Court & Consular Gazette, volume XV, number 446, Shanghai, →OCLC, page 520, column 2:

We had been dashing along before the gale at fully eleven knots an hour, when we went upon some unknown rock off Breaker Point—a projecting headland some sixty miles south of Swatow—so the terrible force with which we struck may easily be imagined.

1882, Augustus F. Lindley, “Caught by Chinese Rebels”, in A Cruise in Chinese Waters. Being the Log of "The Fortuna.", 4th edition, Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co, →OCLC, pages 144–145:

According to Mr. Hsu Lin-chen, Chief Officer of the Flying Dragon, Communist soldiers at Breaker Point, about 25 miles to the South West of Swatow on the coast, shot up flares which lit a wide area of the sea when his ship was steaming towards the West.

1950 August 30, “Reds tightening security measures along coast”, in China Mail, number 34679, →OCLC, page 2, column 6:

Lease-lend had been terminated within a few weeks of the Japanese surrender, but as far as we in Hong Kong knew other Anglo-American agreements were still in force. An unusual case cropped up when an American Liberty, the Josiah Nelson Cushing, ran ashore at Breaker Point near Swatow, while in ballast. I wondered what an American vessel was doing in the area but sent the King Salvor and Prince Salvor to her assistance.

1976, W. A. Doust, Peter Black, “Scrap into Skyscrapers”, in The Ocean on a Plank, London: Seely, Service & Co. Ltd, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 112:

At the 1883 International Fisheries Exhibition in London, the Customs-organized Chinese display included a model of the 120-foot iron tower for Breaker Point, south of Shantou, and 'a chart showing the Lights on the coast of China', which Prime Minister W. E. Gladstone 'seemed to be much struck with'.
