Mort's Dock, Maritime heritage site in Balmain, Australia.
The dockyard extends along the waterfront with structures designed for ship maintenance, repairs, and construction of maritime vessels.
Established in 1855, Mort's Dock became the first private dry dock in Australia, preceding the development of Cockatoo Island by one year.
The formation of the Ship Painters and Dockers Union at this location in 1872 influenced the development of the Australian Labour Party.
Visitors can access detailed information about the dockyard through the New South Wales State Heritage Register database and local historical archives.
The engineering workshop at Mort's Dock held the position as the largest maritime facility in the Australian colony during the 19th century.
