Port of Melbourne

The Port of Melbourne and its behind-the-scenes organisation: the routing of a ship up river, the allocation of berths and tugs, harbour traffic control, cargo handling from ship to rail and road truck, future planning for the harbour, routine inspections and dredging and finally a first aid and rescue squad in action. Written and directed by Jennie Blackwood and shot in 'Technicolor'.

Port of Melbourne (1961) is just one of the many films we have been digitising. Discover more about the process on our website.
