New Slipway In Port Moresby

TTHE new slipway, built by Steamships 1 Trading Co. Lfd. in Port Moresby, less than 100 yards south of the Govern ment wharf, is now practically completed.

The rock which was blasted out of the hillside has been used to contruct two protecting “breakwaters”, one on either side of the slipway. The work has been done in a substantial way. and the slip way can accommodate coastal vessels of considerable size.

Steamships Trading Co. lately have been granted permission to build their own wharf at a point directly opposite their stores, about 200 yards north of the Government wharf.
