General notes

From the volume titled 'Shipping at Port Adelaide, South Australia'.

This section comprises Photographic copies of early paintings of Port Adelaide.

This image is from the A.D. Edwardes Collection of about 8,000 photographs, mostly of sailing ships from around the world, taken between about 1865 and 1920. Mounted in 91 albums, the photographs are arranged by country of ownership, with some special volumes such as 'Shipping at Port Adelaide' and 'South Australian outports'. Additional information, giving the history of the ships where known, has been provided by maritime historian, Ron Parsons.

Note from researcher: This is not a canal, but a rivulet between McLaren Wharf and the Government reserve, now about the middle of Black Diamond Corner. Ultimately filled in in the 1850's.
