6 жыл бұрынThe Port of Melbourne and its behind-the-scenes organisation: the routing of a ship up river, the allocation of berths and tugs, harbour traffic control, cargo handling from ship to rail and road truck, future planning for the harbour, routine inspections and dredging and finally a first aid and rescue squad in action. Written and directed by Jennie Blackwood and shot in 'Technicolor'.
Port of Melbourne (1961) is just one of the many films we have been digitising. Discover more about the process on our website.

'Dock Head'. A tongue must have been planted firmly in the cheek of whoever created that title.

The woman ringing for a ship arrival time. Back when we used to read newspapers, that information was always published.

Yes, I remember the "women" ringing the ship that had just tied up at the sugar wharf in Yarraville asking if any crew wanted a "chat". No takers so back into the waiting taxi and gone to the next arrival.

Ah, the days when we actually owned and operated our own ships!

Not many Australian ships there, even then. As a former British merchant naval person in the 60s, we always envied the luxurious conditions we thought the Ossies had on their ships!
