NRS-15339 | Photographs of the construction of a fitting-out wharf at Garden Island

This album consists of black and white photographs showing the construction of a fitting-out wharf at Garden Island during the years 1942-1945. Included are views of the whole site photographs of machinery and equipment, dredges; precast sections for a 250-ton crane; temporary staging area, including workmen’s entrances and traffic gatehouse for control of access to the dock area. The Photographs are identified by typescript captions each of which includes a precise date and detailed description. The captions are numbered but there are large gaps in the numbers suggesting that this album has been compiled from a previous source. Some photographs have Maritime Services Board Laser numbers.
