Summary

Steamers' Wharf at Port Adelaide, located east of Commercial Road and in front of McLaren Parade. The big crane was erected by the South Australian Company in 1863. The building behind it is the S.A. Company's original (1840) store, later the site of the second Exchange Hotel. On the extreme right (across Commercial Rd) is the Customs House, also built in 1840. The two-storey building with verandah in between the ships' masts is the Britannia Hotel. Destined to be rebuilt in 1888/89, this is a rare photo of its predecessor.
