Quite the sophisticated and complex docks for 1908. Have you found any photos or lithographs of the construction and dredging that took place to build them? … or any of the contractor blueprints? Names of companies that built them?
Unfortunately this is not an area of expertise for me. I’ve included this map as it shows the railway lines and facilities in Port Arthur at the time. I know some of the docks and wharves were built by local businessman Thomas Marks many years before this map was made.
