In a companion plate ROY_0661 there is a side wheel paddle steamer (service boat? )visible. Landing marked to north side of Light on the OSI 25" Other pipes running along top of wall towards light and a larger on (See note)

beachcomber australia Still after 1865 as there are pully wheels visible for gasometer. But different to ROY_0659 as there is a lattice beam in Sweeneys photo. So maybe the first gasometer built.
