History

Western Camber is marked on 1832 plan when Slip No 3 (then No 1) which ran off to S was being completed but the W side steps appear on the 1820 plan, when the dockyard front was to have run in a line E from the S wall of the present Western Camber, with all the slips on a line behind. No 3 slip was covered by a timber wide-span roof in 1841 and was infilled before 1891. A landing jetty was built out to NW c1865, but had gone by 1930's and the present concrete canted jetty dates from c1940.
