JACK JONES' BOATSHED - Interpretation of Site
This facility was used during the 1920's, and located at the end of what was once Fish Parade. Jack Jones was involved in many boat building and hiring ventures along the Maribyrnong. The boatshed was occupied in 1928 by J.R. Bell Nail Manufacturers (Vines, 1989: np).
The site is now located in a private residence, and the owners have reported to Somerville (pers comms) that they have found "rails" in their backyard that were probably part of the old launching ways/ slipway once located there.
The facility has archaeological potential to provide evidence relating to the activities that occured on site. The site is one of the many boatbuilding services formaly located in the area.
