Summary

Panoramic view of Victor Harbor from Granite Island with the jetty in the foreground. The deep sea port near Granite Island facilitated the movement of freight from the Murray to Port Adelaide. A bathing house for women was built near the causeway in 1874. The jetty was extended to Granite Island in 1875 and a working jetty was built on the island. Work on the breakwater on Granite Island was commenced in 1879 and finished in 1881. The screwpile jetty on Granite Island was used for the first time by the "Penola" in 1881. A horse drawn tram was introduced to the Causeway between Victor Harbor and Ganite Island in 1895
