Description
This part of Cockatoo island provides evidence of technological achievement in the development of Australia maritime industry – both naval and commercial . It has a significant collection of buildings, wharves, slipways, cranes and associated shipbuilding machinery (despite sale and demolitions) remaining to interpret the shipbuilding activities of the island – the legacy of a major dockyard in Australia’s main port city .
The island has been vacant since 1992 and many of the buildings have deteriorated. Some areas also contain contamination and industrial hazards from over a century of shipbuilding activity.
Today its a place to learn about our history.
