Summary

Company's Basin at Port Adelaide showing wharf constructed inside the swing bridge constructed by the SA Company in 1866-67. In the centre is Captain Hall's store, and to the left is Levi's warehouse. The photograph was taken in 1867. Copy of original description "view of the 300 feet of wharf constructed on the new plan with double front, which has enabled us to break up the limestone crust and excavate to a depth of 18 feet at the lowest tides, an operation which has been continued 100 feet beyond the point at which we left off wharf making. The site of this wharf is shown in a small photo taken before the work was commenced. It is there occupied by some barges, boats etc, laying aground. Compare with B 5646 taken in 1865."
