Story
About this place
Whyalla’s harbour was built for Middleback ore and then for ships. BHP’s blast furnace was blown in here in 1941 and the shipyard launched naval and merchant hulls through the war. This 1948 view is the fitting-out crane, the wharf rails, and a Port Adelaide coaster — the port end of the Iron Knob Tramway, not a portrait.
