Hawthorn Leslie Shipyard, slipways

Built in the early 1900s. Broad, gently sloping areas which have been largely obscured by the spreading of clearance rubble from former buildings in the yard. This is where the ships were built. The tide has exposed timbers and metal fixings. At the foot of the western slipway a concrete stacked platform can be seen at low tide. At the foot of the eastern slipway, at low tide, a dilapidated and displaced iron dock gate is visible. The floor of the eastern slipway is littered with rivet heads.
