There is a slipway behind with a paddle tug on it that appears to be the slipway that was moved when the bridge was built, to become Central Slip. The slipway winch-house has a cutout in the roof to enable sailing vessels to be drawn right up to the house, the bowsprit could clear the roof. This was also moved to the new location in the late 1930's.

Plane being retrieved by crane
Damaged plane being retrieved from Port River. '22 June 28: The crew was just leaving the shore to prepare for take-off when a strong wind squall struck and overturned the moored aircraft. A radio mechanic already on board (CPL Douglas A Endean) was lucky to be rescued unhurt. The aircraft quickly sank nose first onto the river bed with the tail and port wing up in the air. The starboard wing was badly crumpled and the engines and propellers suffered considerable damage. Much to the chagrin of RAAF officials, instead of triumphantly joining the British boats in a public display of Empire, A11-1 had to be ignominiously retrieved off the river bottom by crane and returned to Point Cook on board the 2,040 ton Howard Smith Line SS Saros for a lengthy and costly repair.' [In 1927, two ... wooden-hulled aircraft Mk.I aircraft, S1158 and S1159, were shipped to Australia for co-operation with four Southampton IIs of the RAF Far East Flight, which were making the first formation flight from England to Australia. From their entry to service, the two aircraft retained their RAF serials until in 1928, the two Southampton Is were re-numbered A11-1 and A11-2, and formed the nucleus of a Coastal Reconnaissance Flight at Point Cook.] [Source: Australian & New Zealand Military Aircraft Serials & History]
