Description
F.W.E. Tydeman’s Report on Albany Harbour recommended formation of a port authority board and construction of land-backed berths. At the time the Town Jetty was closed to cargo shipping. The Deep Water Jetty was used for this purpose. Cargo was loaded into demoted rail wagons, then shunted into an inadequate shed (near the Post Office) for distribution. Huge delays in delivery were increasingly occurring.
