NRS-12444 | Harbours and Rivers: Maps and plans

This series comprises surveys of ports, rivers and coastline used in the administration of harbours and river navigation.  The series includes maps of the Naval Station at Garden Island, Port Jackson, Sydney Cove, Darling Harbour and Woolloomooloo. There are also maps and plans unrelated to coastal and river navigation, including plans of Trial Bay Prison and the Nautical School Ship "Sobraon".  Many of the plans are signed by the Chief Engineer, including Edwin Orpen Moriarty who was the first Engineer-in-Chief for Harbours and Rivers of the Department of Lands and Public Works from 10 October 1858.  They are also labelled with “HR” control numbers or stamped with the Public Works Department Harbours and Rivers Branch plan room stamp.  Maps and plans dated before the 1850s appear to have been created by preceding agencies such as the Surveyor General.

本系列包含用于港口管理及内河航运的港口、河流与海岸线勘测资料。该系列涵盖花园岛海军基地、杰克逊港、悉尼湾、达令港及乌鲁木鲁的地图。此外，还有与海岸及内河航运无关的地图与规划图，包括特里尔湾监狱及航海训练舰“索布拉昂号”的规划图。多数规划图由总工程师签署，其中包括埃德温·奥彭·莫里亚蒂——他于1858年10月10日成为土地与公共工程部首位港口及河流工程总监。这些图纸还标注有“HR”控制编号，或盖有公共工程部港口及河流分局规划室的印章。19世纪50年代以前的地图与规划图似乎由前任机构（如测量总监办公室）绘制。
