Image of Woolwich Dock
An image of the ship repair area at Woolwich Dock. At the centre us a large building titled 'Mort’s Dock & Engineering Co Ltd. Invincible Motor Dept, Woolwich Branch'. A three masted barque, possibly the ALDEBARAN, is visible with funnels for auxiliary steam propulsion, alongside the wharf (centre) with other vessels. See also [169] and [170].
This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s William Hall collection. The Hall collection combines photographs from both William J Hall and his father William Frederick Hall. The images provide an important pictorial record of recreational boating in Sydney Harbour, from the 1890s to the 1930s – from large racing and cruising yachts, to the many and varied skiffs jostling on the harbour, to the new phenomenon of motor boating in the early twentieth century. The collection also includes studio portraits and images of the many spectators and crowds who followed the sailing races.
