This yard formerly belonged to the New South Wales Government and was at first played on general Repair work, docking and slipway; work. Lite out or no new building work was until an order was placed for the constrac

of the light-cruiser Brisbane, and on the hull of this vessel was well advanced when the yard was purchased by the Commonwealth Government. The destroyer Warrego, constructed by the Fairfield Company at Covan, was shipped to Sydney and re-erected at Cockatoo Is land. This work, as well as that on the Brisbane, having proved entirely satisfac tory, appears to have given a fresh im petus to the Australian shipbuilding in- dustry. Since that time.

"light cruiser, the Adelaide, has been laubced, and three destroyers have been completed as well as lightships, launches and other small craft: There are at present ander construction a fleet collier, and a cargo véssel for the Commonwealth Government line of steamers. The former ussel is the first steel ship to be built entirely of Australian material. It is designed to carry 4,000 tons of coal, 1,250 tons of oil and 70 tons of fresh water for the fleet, 10 as well as about 1,000 tons of bunker coal. The principal work of the Morts Dock, Sydney, is drydocking, slipway work and repairs, althought various type of vesseln have been constructed for local owners, and two oil storage vessels were constructed in 1919 and 1913 for the Australian navy.
