Dockyard Policies
Cockatoo Island's dockyard, through its contribution to Australia's naval and maritime history, demonstrates outstanding significance to the nation. It operated for 134 years between 1857 and was Australia's primary shipbuilding facility for much of this time. The dockyard contains the earliest, most extensive and most varied record of
