The Walsh Island Dockyard and Engineering Works was a dockyard and engineering workshop established by the New South Wales State Government in 1913, at Walsh Island, Newcastle, Australia. The foundation stone was laid on 15 June 1913 by Mr Griffith, the Minister for Works. The dockyard was constructed as a replacement for Sydney’s Cockatoo Island Dockyard, that was taken over by the Australian Commonwealth Government in 1913.
