Sutherland Dock and jib cranes, Cockatoo Island.

            Cockatoo Island, Sydney.

Sutherland Dock, constructed between 1882 and 1890 is an excavated dry dock lined with bluestone concrete blocks. 
It was large enough to accommodate ships of 20,000 long tonnes (22,000 short tons). 
The dock is 686 feet (209 metres) long, 89 feet (27 metres) in breadth and the depth of the water over the sill at high tide is 32 feet (9.75 metres).  
The dock was modified in 1913 and in 1927 to accommodate Royal Australian Navy ships.

Cockatoo Island is a convict industrial settlement and pre and post-federation shipbuilding complex. It is important in the course of Australia’s cultural history for its use as a place of convict hard labour, secondary punishment and for public works, and its history and contributions to the nation as a dockyard.
