Forty-seven vessels were constructed at the dockyard, including a 15,000-ton floating dock.[2] The engineering works fabricated bolts, castings and steel fabrication work. It assembled electric carriages for the New South Wales Government Railways as well as trams. The dockyard was eventually abandoned in 1933 after the great depression and was dismantled and relocated to the new State Dockyard at Dyke End, Carrington.[3] Ships built at Walsh Island Dockyard
