The Walsh Island Dockyard and Engineering Works was a dockyard and engineering workshop established by the New South Wales State Government in 1913, at Walsh Island, Newcastle, Australia. The foundation stone was laid on 15 June 1913 by Mr Griffith, the Minister for Works.〔 The dockyard was constructed as a replacement for Sydney’s Cockatoo Island Dockyard, that was taken over by the Australian Commonwealth Government in 1913. Forty-seven vessels were constructed at the dockyard, including a 15,000 ton floating dock. The engineering works fabricated bolts, castings and steel fabrication work. The dockyard was eventually abandoned in 1933 after the great depression and was dismantled and relocated to the new State Dockyard at Dyke End, Carrington. ==Ships built at Walsh Island Dockyard== *SS ''Mildred'' (1914) *SS ''Enoggera'' (1920) *SS ''Eurelia'' (1920) *SS ''Eromanga'' (1921) * SS ''Kuttabul'' (1922) * SS ''Koompartoo'' (1922) * (1925) * (1925) *SS ''Birubi'' (1927) *hopper dredge ''Hermes'' (1930) *15,000 ton floating dock 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walsh Island Dockyard and Engineering Works」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
