Around that time, about 90% of everything that came into Victoria came via either Victoria Dock in the Docklands or via the river wharves. The creation of a new, faster, deeper and wider Yarra River in the late 1890s by the Harbor Trust, under the British maritime engineer John Coode, had enabled many large ships to come all the way into the city and to use South and North Wharves. 1 A SHORT HISTORY of SOUTH WHARF About a third of South Wharf was downstream.

    Victorian Heritage Database place details - 28/9/2021 POLLY WOODSIDE Location: 1-23 SOUTH WHARF PROMENADE SOUTH WHARF, MELBOURNE CITY Victorian Heritage Register (VHR) Number: H2116 Listing Authority: VHR Extent of Registration: All of the iron hulled barque known as the Polly Woodside. 1 Statement of Significance: The Polly Woodside was built in Belfast in 1885 by Workman Clark & Co Ltd for William J Woodside, and operated as a cargo vessel, initially carrying coal, nitrate and wheat between England and South America, and also visiting North America, Africa and Australia (Newcastle, N S W). In 1904 the ship was sold to a New Zealand company and renamed Rona (a Maori name) and until 1921 sailed mainly between various ports in Australia and New Zealand. In 1923 it was dismantled to become a coal hulk, and towed to Melbourne. The ship was temporarily requisitioned by the Royal Australian Navy during the Second World War, and used in New Guinea as a refuelling barge for navy ships, then returned to being a coal hulk in Melbourne. In 1968 the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) purchased the ship for one cent. It underwent extensive restoration, most of which was done by volunteers, and in 1978 was opened to the public, moored permanently at the 1875 Duke's & Orr's Dry Dock at Southbank. In 1988 the Polly Woodside was awarded the World Ship Trust Medal for supreme achievement in the preservation of maritime heritage. The Polly Woodside is a three-masted iron barque with a clipper bow and rounded counter-stern. The hull is of riveted wrought iron, with clinker built (raised and sunken) plates.
