The History of the Hobart Ports Corporation and its predecessor, the Marine Board of Hobart, mirrors the history of Tasmania and its predecessor, the colony of Van, the colony of Van Diemen's Land. It is the story of an island that became a maritime state and whose maritime heritage is its future. Convict labour established of Port of Hobart, beginning with the building of a causeway to split of Hunter Island in 1820. Master mariners, merchantmen, banker, engineers, accountants, autocrats have run the port since. They help shape a unique marine lifestyle in Tasmania, a presence in the Southern Ocean that is likely to be its mainstay in the future. The men and women who have steered the port development in Hobart have also been responsible, in large measure, for creating in infrastructure of harbours, lighthouse, beacons, signal stations, navigational aids and charts that make Tasmania a safe anchorage in this refuge before the Antarctic. Old sea captains whalers like James Kelly, and even one nineteenth century Marine Board official named Horatio Nelson have been at the helm during the evolution of this corporation from the days when whaling was a key industry, from the days when convicts were still being transported to Van Diemen's Land from the days when the visiting fleet was collection of square-riggers, barques and brigantines. The ship sailed gave way of steam; conventional cargo handling gave way to roll-on, roll-off vessels, containerisation and self-loading ship became tour de force. The port has adapted to the change, survived recession and downturn of the 1840's and the 1930's, overcome the decimation of the fruit export industry in the1970's, and the economic rationalism of 1990's. The port that many have claimed is dying is thriving. There have been undeniable schisms between the old Marine Board and those who ran it and the general public. There was no general franchise, only shippers and traders could become Board Members; the Marine Board was seen as a law unto itself, symbolised by the siting of the Marine Board itself. Today there is a synergy between those who run the port and those who use it, those who use it as their window on the world. The Port of Hobart presents a very different face from the port which the Marine Board of Hobart took over 1858. The waterfront generates not only business but an undeniable romance with the sea. The visiting cruise liners, polar resupply vessels, yachts and general shipping generates a sense on wonder and a quest for adventure. who can forget the tall ship armada of the 1988 Bicentenary? Tasmania's future is its location, it maritime status, its remoteness from the mainstream world. In the past it may have been a disadvantage. Today, it our greatest asset. Overall an excellent and neat copy.
