明朝萬曆年喺石上起咗海印閣，清朝嘉慶年改建為京觀樓，俾遊人登樓觀賞珠江景色。後來改成砲臺（東砲臺），係廣州江防重地。1847年4月，英軍炸毀砲臺。後來砲臺東邊嘅築橫沙不斷擴張，逐漸同嚿石連埋一齊，卒之變成東濠口東岸陸地一部分。清末，海印石埋入地低。而今喺大沙頭附近有一啲嘢改咗「海印」嘅名，譬如海印橋。
The Ming Dynasty Wanli year on the stone up the Haiyin Pavilion, the Qing Dynasty Jiaqing year rebuilt into the Beijing View Tower, let visitors climb the tower to enjoy the scenery of the Pearl River. Later, it was changed to a fort (east fort), which was an important place for the defense of the Guangzhou River. In April 1847, the British blew up the battery. Later, the Chikuhengsha on the east side of the fort continued to expand, and gradually joined with a stone, and finally became part of the land on the east coast of Donghaokou. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the sea seal stone was buried in the ground. Nowadays, there are some things near Dashatou that have changed the name of "Haiyin", such as Haiyin Bridge.
