South Brisbane dry docks - a history

Summary

When a ship is docked to clean away underwater barnacles and weed and to paint its bottom, dock workers often referred to this as a "haircut and shave". But the dock at South Brisbane did much more than this, repairing seriously damaged shipping in peace and war, building wooden boats - and even hosting championship swimming events
