This yard was completed in about 1916. It covered 22 acres and had five building berths capable of accomodating 400-500 feet boats of upto 9 000 tons. The yard was closed in 1930. By 1983 some of the South Yard land was acquired by the McCrindle group and some small scale shipbuilding work was taking place.
