New Ocean Steamers Wharf at Port Adelaide Progress
Construction of the New Ocean Steamers Wharf at Port Adelaide advances in three sections. The 40 foot section is complete and the second is nearly finished, with the final part under construction. Expected completion by Christmas. Dredging to 32 feet at low water will allow larger steamers to use the Port Adelaide River. The project uses concrete timber piling and Larson steel interstock in sheet pilings with an estimated cost of £130,000, departmental oversight, and fuller capacity than No 2 Quay.
