  • . (There is a close-up photo shown below.) The maps show two slips served by rail, but as far as I can see there is only one float bridge.
  • . This 'close-up' shows the float bridges behind the covered loading shed at the end of the wharf.
  • . To the right of that looks like what could be a timber hoist for the second float bridge, but it looks awfully low for a railcar or locomotive to move under it.

  • . A collision took place between the car float and 15 D.
  • . The Moran was guilty of other faults also, so that the tug and the scows all three wrongfully contributed to the damage done to the float.
