Fascinating to see these docks in operation, all the machinery and characters. That must be the date; I can't find anything in Trove yet.

1899 details of the dock at beginning of work - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14205298 1909 dock extended - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15037476 1902 details of the floating dock (see note) - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14454479 Trying to find out how the caisson or lock-gate worked. Armchair industrial archaeology!
beachcomber australia said:
The men having a smoko next to piles of what looks like stone slabs could have been working on quarrying the stone (out of shot to the left) which went on even after the dock was opened. Evidently there was a new stone-cutting machine which had an official visit in May 1900 (more details about the dock) - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14312442

beachcomber australia Beachcomber we love that phrase -"Armchair industrial archaeology!". Thanks for all the info, interesting time for the dry dock, it was still so new.

Good example for the era of the busy 'working harbour' and, when you lived close to your place of work..
beachcomber australia said:
Andy Brill It is good to see the rough underbelly of Sydney, warts 'n' all. The WANDRA (see note) had a short and accident-prone life. "A wooden twin-screw steamer, built at the Manning River in 1907" and wrecked off Jervis Bay in December 1915. See SMH 17/12/1915 p.10 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15632074 . There are several reports of mishaps with propellers etc in between those dates, which might explain the ship being near Mort's for repairs. Which puts this photo between 1907 and 1915. So far ...

Wait Up! Is that the THODE FAGELUND on the left being repaired at Mort's Dock? trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14943803 So February / March 1908?
Andy Brill said:
beachcomber australia Good observation - looks identical .

beachcomber australia Andy Brill Wasn't that well timed regarding our other images of THODE FAGELUND here. Thanks Beachcomber for lending your eagle eye once again, our records have been tidied :)

Mort Bay aka Waterview Bay, Balmain, c.1930 (from the state of the bridge). See 1919 interactive map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-gmod72-sd&rgn=... Fantastic details in the large size ...
