Woolwich Dock, Historic shipyard in Woolwich, Australia
The Woolwich Dock stretches 260 meters in length and 27 meters in width along the waterfront of New South Wales, featuring sandstone walls and deep harbor access.
Established in 1901 as Australia's largest dry dock, the facility played a crucial role during both World Wars by converting passenger vessels into troopships and repairing damaged vessels.
The dock represents early 20th-century industrial development in Australia, with its original structures and engineering methods illustrating the evolution of maritime construction techniques.
The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust maintains the dock facility, which remains accessible for maritime activities and includes workshops for vessel maintenance and repairs.
The sandstone cliffs surrounding the dock contain populations of coral ferns, king ferns, and three rare species: fork fern, scrambling clubmoss, and skeleton fork fern.
