Description

When a ship is docked to clean away underwater barnacles and weed and to paint its bottom, dock workers o en 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.
