Jenkins Street Slips Precinct |
| Registered Name |
Jenkins Street Slips Precinct |
| Significance |
Shipbuilding, which is concerned with the building, repair and maintenance of ships and boats, has played a critical role in South Australian history since the establishment of the colony. Port Adelaide was the main port for the colony and the northern bank of the Gawler Reach was the centre of shipbuilding in South Australia. The Jenkins Street Slips Precinct is one of only a few places in South Australia where archaeological deposits associated with nineteenth and early twentieth-century shipbuilding are likely to remain. These deposits are believed to be highly intact and it is anticipated that thorough archaeological investigation of the Jenkins Street Slips Precinct will yield historical information about nineteenth and early twentieth-century shipbuilding not available through any other means. |
