		Clearly then, Cutler, Keele and the Cockatoo Board, were in favour of a site closer to the city and its existing utilities and service infrastructure (rail links, wharfage, and power) and no doubt the extra operating costs in handling materials and labour to and from the island influenced their judgement.

		Although their engines were neither powerful nor efficient, auxiliary steamers could make very fast times since they could sail under canvas at high speed and did not need to carry too much coal.
		Their engines gave them manoeuvrability - and hence safety - across the notoriously hazardous sand bars at the mouths of so many rivers along the eastern littoral, and the distances were relatively short, meaning they did not have to carry huge supplies of coal.

	The Woolwich Shops
		Even at 750 feet, and representing the largest dry dock facility in Sydney Harbour, Mort’s Dock and Engineering Co had problems with accommodating demand, and during 1912 the company was again forced to lease the government docks on Cockatoo Island to meet orders.
		The main problem with the Woolwich Dock was (that) although it had been designed to accommodate two vessels at any one time, the increasing size of ships meant it was frequently 10 to 50 feet short.
		In 1913 the company decided to increase the length of the dock to 850 feet, which would enable it to accommodate not only two vessels at the same time, but all but the very largest ships using the port.

		Oh, and there is a resident cockatoo named Alfred, who spends most of the day sitting on the roof yelling (he speaks a few words of English), sqawking, or making a sound like a child.
