Old timbers are part of the remains of ship repair workshops and a dry dock that were established here at Clarkes Point in 1884 by removing 20,000 tons of sandstone. When it opened it was the largest in Australia. The peak periods of activity were in the two World Wars, when up to 1,500 workers were employed here. It closed in 1959 and Clarkes Point became a public reserve in 1963.
