Summary

[General description] This is probably the Fort Hill Public Baths, built around eighteen eighty and in use until nineteen nineteen when swept away by a cyclone. The walls of the baths are constructed from timber logs with gaps between them so the water can flow through but to keep out sharks, crocodiles etc. A man is standing on top of the railings to show their height. [On back of photograph] 'Port Darwin / The baths - (rise and fall of tide about 26 feet.) / 1911'.
