Boatsheds and Flaghouses from Pier

When were they built?

The double boatsheds were built in 1841.

 

Their uses during the First Settlement

These boatsheds did not exist in the First Settlement. During the First settlement no boats were allowed to be built on Norfolk Island.

 

Their uses during the Second Settlement

Until 1840 the boatshed was at the western end of the Pier Store.  In 1841 a new double boatshed was built to protect the boats and to stop convicts from stealing them.  The boatsheds are built on the ruins of an old barn.  Part of the old barn may have remained from the First Settlement.

 

Their uses during the Third Settlement

The single boatshed that was built in 1828 as a police and commandant’s office was converted to a boatshed in 1888.

 

Double Boatsheds

Their uses today

The boatsheds are still used to store the lighters which are the boats used for unloading the supply ships for Norfolk Island.
